Yoram Crescens

“The man who believes that all the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.”
-Yoram Crescens
== History ==
Crescens was the only member of the Order of Assassins - known also as the Crows - to survive. He betrayed the order of the Kuldeep of Shangare, and in return was granted long life and the position of Grand Vizier. 
He has greater ambitions. Some whisper that he wishes to become the Padishah of Aglazdere. 
== Personality ==
Yoram Crescens was a cunning man steeped in mysticism who ruled as a tyrant in Aglazdere for forty years. It was said that he broke every promise he ever entered into. 
Yoram Crescens hates the Church of the Maker, knowing them as worshippers of a Great Old One. He not just welcomed Kuldeep, but invited him to invade the country and promised him the Philosopher's Stone. It is believed that he is trying to stamp out the Church of the Maker in order to curry favor with the Padishah-Emperor, but in truth, he is trying to prevent them from summoning their alien god. 
Yoram Crescens sees himself as the hero of the story. 
== The Great Awakening ==
Yoram Crescens was overthrown by Prince Shams al-Din Samara with the help of the Bouldercloaks and Ithiel Onesiphorus of Abu Hasan. Reports of his death vary.
