Quintus Pessimus

All the duke's horses and all the duke's men, couldn't put poor Kestrel's heart back together again.A rhyme recited by Erzabet of the Winter Wolves.Duke Quintus Pessimus, also known simply as The Duke, was a Lusken noble and cunning politician. Hoping to gain favour with the governance of Datria, he conscripted a small team of scientists, including Patricia Krekil, to re-engineer the WRWL toxin in a lab. 
After The Violet Catastrophe, he fled to Bracken. Kessar Truespear met him at a party of the Rounswell family on the eve of the Battle of Bracken in 1490.
After the city underwent its battle, the Duke fled with the surviving nobles to Thay, where he spent the rest of his life.
