Lord Wolton

Lord Xan Wolton is a powerful lich sorcerer and the elected First Minister of Bruxia. He currently resides in Ravensdawn, the capital of Bruxia; and has ruled the kingdom with an iron fist since 702 AP. 
The war between Bruxia and Rylandaria in 729 AP began due to a slight made by King Semaj to Lord Wolton during a dinner party almost a year ago. Lord Wolton allied himself with the cult leader, Father Inorias, in order to gather the pieces of the Orb Of Storms to use it to crush Rylandaria. Lord Wolton then orchestrated a full scale war on Rylandaria - using his own undead troops as well as additional undead brought through a permanent portal to Thanatos (the layer of the Abyss ruled by the demon lord, Orcus). 
During the war, Lord Wolton became increasingly paranoid and reliant on his inner circle (which included Samheim, Sir Byrant, Jason Artimus, Lucian Dermanche and Deacon Thunderstrike). However one by one, these allies were killed or turned against him by the Unnamed Party. He became increasingly unhinged and even outlawed the Church of Nerull in Rylandaria - the main religion of the country. Shortly after this, Wolton's phylactery was found and destroyed by the Unnamed Party. 
In the last days of the war, the Unnamed Party - along with King Semaj, Archon, Hennet and Sigmund Cross attacked Lord Wolton's keep in Bruxia. In a pitched battle, Grakk finally silenced Lord Wolton once and for all. 
== History ==
Xan Wolton was born to the wealthy and influential House Wolton in Bruxia; one of the leading houses in the parliament of Bruxia. During his youth he trained with the arcane advisors and schools of sorcery to become a formidable magic-user. In later life he followed his family traditions and entered the world of politics, quickly building up a reputation as a ruthless opponent and willing to do anything to serve Bruxia. 
Towards the end of his natural life; the 'opportunity' came to unnaturally extend it, and live on as a lich. While in most other cultures this would be frowned upon, in Bruxia this was considered an honour. 
After his transformation, Xan Wolton continued his political rise, bringing the merchant guilds inline with his house and ultimately being elected First Minister in 702AP. From there he set about passing laws that kept his house in power beyond the usual 8 year term, and giving Lord Wolton himself more power an influence than previous First Ministers. 
As the war between Bruxia and Rylandaria began, Lord Wolton gave himself emergency powers; effectively making himself judge, jury and executioner for the people of Bruxia.
