## Bio:

### Early Life:

Kit was born to the great House Blackfire to the House’s founder, Lady Theodora and her husband Rikkan. He was the third child, but first son.

### The Many Reigns of Lord Kit:

After his mother was slain in battle during one of the many imperial civil wars, he was made the new lord, but he would rule for only a few months before his older sister removed him and placed herself incharge of the Vale lands.

She would rule for several years before dying under suspicious circumstances, meanwhile Kit spent his time learning and studying. After the death of his sister he would once again be placed on the throne were he would rule for some time, but his madness would began to show leading his lords to remove him from the throne replacing him with his brother Clarence.

During his exile he would join the Imperial Alchemist’s Guild and would spend a decade making potions and other oddities. He would shine in these years, but soon enough, he would receive word that his brother had drunk himself to death, leaving him once again lord.

He would rule justly if eccentrically thogh rumors of him being a madman remained. It is said that during one harsh winter, he, after his castle ran out of food, killed a prisoner and ate him. In battle, he would often threaten to do the same to his opponents to scare them, even changing his house's motto to "I would Love to Have you for Dinner" and it remains that to this day out of fear of him.

Later he would be given the position of Chancellor of the Empire, making him one of the Imperial Hands. This happened during the last days of the reign of Otar the Foul with Kit being the last in a series of Chancellors that served the mad king, tending to be murdered by their mad emperor. To save himself from ending up like his predecessor, Kit helped bring about his downfall. A few years later, Emperor Hugh Orelion died in a hunting accident and he was made regent and guardian of his son Reagar. At that time, he practically ruled the empire in all but name. During this time, he would help increase the power of the Hands to weaken the power of House Orelion and prevent the rise of another tyrant like Otar. During this time he would help the rise of House Honeyholt in Ikor. He would rule until the young king was of age.

Years later as he was getting old, he attempted to use his skills at alcamy to make an elixir of life but he seemed to have gotten the recipe wrong as upon drinking it, he died immediately.
