Duke Hayor Gesrorben

Born a half-elf in the Empire of Koruthar, Hayor Gesrorben never saw much in riches during his early life, remaining a fairly normal peasant for most of his youth. But the man always aspired for more, although he would greatly improve his salesmanship over his lifetime, his human parentage would always get in the way of his quest for “Nobility”.
But macabre luck struck when, after surviving the Plague of Shadows, Hayor found himself in a new, expanding, and less racial focused, Ladian Empire. It was here that his salesmanship made him vastly wealthy off the trade and recovery of Elven artifacts.
Even though he had the money, he still needed The Lads favor to truly become a noble. Unfortunately, he never made much progress on this regard, he would try many times to get close to them by associating with people who are themselves associated with The Lads, but to no avail, although he would call himself “Duke” he never received any position on any official capacity.
After purchasing a dark statue from Elonia, an idol representing Yog’Mayur, the duke would begin to suffer from increasingly severe nightmares, and fall maddening in love with the maid he had contracted to take care of his mansion.
The nightmares scared Hayor, to the point he had all items in his basement checked and removed, keeping only the fake and forged artifacts he had made to better sell his clearly made-up stories.
But he would be murdered inside his mansion, when after organizing a party to display his made-up artifacts during the events of The Dark Idol, the maid he had fallen deeply in love with, sacrificed him to Yog’Mayur, stabbing a blood dagger through the duke, while the guests convened on the floor below. Only having time to write “idol” with his blood, as he quickly died from maddening blood loss.
Triva:
* This is the third old elf that gets assassinated in his own home while Muu is DM.
* “Gesrorben” means “deceased” in German.
* A lot of the frog baby hybrids where probably his “kids”.
