Norgoux Fyth

== Overview ==
Norgoux Fyth was a male member of the Ruling Family Fyth, who served as patriarch of Helmont from 184 AG until 189 AG. A disgraced man by the end of his life, Norgoux was infamous for his first marriage to Heroux Fyth and subsequent marriage to Matriarch Shackschogorth Fyth, eventually ending in his suicide. He was widely regarded to be the last Patriarch of Helmont to have unquestionably appeased the Grenthyx Dynasty.

A handsome man in his youth, Norgoux bore grey hair and many wrinkles by the time of his 50s, echoing his sullen demeanour while in power.
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Norgoux was born to Eldor and Elenoux Fyth in Helmont Castle during the winter of 135 AG. The youngest of his two siblings, one of which died when he was but a boy, Norgoux very much felt overshadowed by his brother, Tibost Fyth, displaying an intense, petty rivalry even as children. Tibost, seen to be the more intelligent and generally formiddable of the two, occasionally reminded the more handsome Norgoux of this rivalry in brutish, physical terms upon the occasions in which Norgoux intentionally provoked his elder brother during their teen years. As their mother and father grew older, a race between the two on who could become married first began to hasten considerably, ending soon after the 23 year old Norgoux met the 17 year old Heroux in 158 AG.
=== Marriage to Heroux ===
Much to Heroux's surprise, Norgoux fast-forwarded their marriage to 159 AG, whereupon the unassuming 17 year old gleefully entered into the Ruling Family Fyth. However, the marriage began to strain much too quickly, though was still of low enough concern to the pair to ever seriously undermine the amicable atmosphere of their time together under Norgoux's parents' continued rule.
Still, as the 160 AGs dawned, Norgoux's rivalry with Tibost, now also wed, began to manifest in Norgoux's request to have children with an assuredly reluctant Heroux, who felt unprepared and daunted by such a prospect. Eventually, after persistent harassment from Norgoux, Heroux began to feel like she had no other choice, a prisoner in her own marriage to the son of the Patriarch. After years of being pressured to do so, she gave birth to twins, Struth and Hadryan Fyth in 165 AG. After a few more years of somewhat improved relations, Norgoux once again began to pressure Heroux into having more children, now intent on populating the Ruling Family with more of his descendants than of Tibost's. Heroux again reluctantly agreed, convinced that by remaining by Norgoux's side and being faithful, she might one day elevate to the position of matriarch and be able to make a difference. Thus, the pair had two final children together: Vaioria Fyth in 171 AG and Detroia Fyth, in 174 AG. Around the birth of Detroia, however, tensions between the two began to rise considerably, and with it, Heroux's idealistic vision of the matriarchship began to fade.
=== Divorcing Heroux ===
During a tumultuous argument between Norgoux and Heroux in late 174 AG, Heroux voiced her true feelings that she married him in the hopes that she might find her place in the family, and make a difference as matriarch. Realising that she was not willing to continue with Norgoux, she learned from Norgoux himself during an abrupt outburst that he only married her to populate the family with his own blood and to show his brother that he was the more worthy of being Patriarch. Heroux left, and one month later secretly consulted with Norgoux's parents, Eldor and Elenoux Fyth. The pair were disappointed to learn of Heroux's intention to immediately end the Martial Charter between herself and her husband, resulting in a divorce. Appreciating her reasons, and ashamed of their son, the Patriarch and Matriarch sanctioned their separation officially, and was finalised by 175 AG, leaving Detroia and Struth to be raised by Heroux, and Hadrian with Vaioria to be raised by Norgoux.
=== Marrying Shackschogorth ===
Dismayed, Norgoux was left to his own devices for a few years, reassessing how he might gain the patriarchy. Upon his mother's death in 179 AG, he anticipated the coming of his chance to become Patriarch, with his father aged 81 already. In 181 AG, a young, energetic 17 year old woman named Shackschogorth visited Helmont Castle when her family, affluent Truvenscian farmers, were an audience for talks with the now ill, 83 year old Eldor Fyth. Striken by the young woman, the now 46 year old Norgoux seized what he saw as an opportunity as the two introduced themselves to one-another. Before long, they were meeting regularly, and, much like Heroux before her, Shackschogorth was surprised to learn of Norgoux's intention to marry her immediately. With proud parents, Shackschogorth accepted, not appreciating the true ramifications of such a decision. The pair married in 181 AG, and shortly thereafter, Shackschogorth bore her first child, and Norgoux's final: Ophellaer Fyth. In 183 AG, Eldor's health began to rapidly deterioate, rendering him entirely bed-ridden. Norgoux informed Shackschogorth, who was viewed incredibly favouribly amongst the family, about his plan to announce their eligibility for the now inevitable plebiscite.

With Eldor dying in early 184 AG, a plebiscite was immediately called.
