Rickon II Grenthyx

== Overview ==
King Rickon Grenthyx (born Rickon II Grenthyx) was the seventh ruler and fifth King of The Continent during the rule of the Grenthyx Dynasty. An intellectually brilliant man in his own right, Rickon yearned to dedicate his life to scholarly endeavours as well as ruling as King. Rickon was a keen expert in the laws, sciences and varying cultures in his Kingdom, and was met with much respect and admiration for his extensive knowledge, even by the Scholars' Collective. He was noted for writing scrolls which he would submit to the Scholars' Collective anonymously and having only one advisor throughout his rule, Thadylia Laydern, who was daughter of the respected scholar Seldor Laydern from whom Rickon had received tutorage. Rickon approached the task of leadership with deeply intellectual methods, often receiving praise for his enlightened decisions but also criticism for his lack of empathy, sometimes being perceived as a cold individual.
While extremely bright, King Rickon II was a limited man. He prioritised intellectualism, precise strategic calculation and being in control and correct over all else, losing sight of maintaining any sentimental value in his life. The King had a strained relationship with his mother, Queen Edliss, his wife, Ch'esmyn, and his son, Prince Hellius, as well as a distant one with his younger half-brother, Prince Jorjaeryn III, whom he constantly viewed through a petty lense. The King's pettiness and compulsion to be correct above all else would eventually alienate himself those he should have been closest to, and he was believed to have succumbed to an illness he had inherited from his father at age 60. The King died in disfavour from the nobility in the royal court after he was only recently, humiliatingly exposed as a maladjusted psychopath by his younger brother in a highly irregular trial.
