Arctavian Portsin

## Overview

First seen in Session 10, Lord Arctavian Portsin is known to be the leader of the Portsin Family, one of the largest families in Barrowbough. They are mostly known for their work in the Foundries and their production and advancements of the NORM-Bots, which grants them solid connections throughout the Empire. He is rumoured to be on the Council, if there is such a thing.

He believes in the furtherment of the Nornish Empire, which he helps to bring about through usage of NORM-Bots, his automatons that serve as reconnaissance units for the Empire.

## Description

### Appearance

Arctavian is a short, older man, thought to be in his mid to late sixties. He has short, balding black hair, with sickly green eyes, and sallow skin. His heavy jowls define most of his face, giving him a distinctive look. He is mostly seen with a large, brown fur coat covering most of his body, along with simple silk clothes underneath.

### Personality

People describe him as cold, distant, and cruel. He is said to be a perfectionist and narcissist. As a Nornish nobleman, he, alike the rest, prefers to sit in the lap of luxury, finding those underneath his station to be not worth his time. He enjoys spending time tormenting and harrassing fellow noblemen and women for favours, using the information he constantly gathers as leverage towards blackmailing them. His nasty personality is well known throughout the capital, Barrowbough, but previously none have the power, authority, nor gall to speak out against him.

## Relationships

He is said to have a family consisting of sons and daughters, though not much is known about them, nor about the individual who bore him these children. It is possible to think that due to his perfectionist attitude, he threw them to the side when they didn't turn out the way Arctavian wanted them to.

### Augustine Vincendius

The two of them appear to have a rather rocky relationship, with the last known discussion between them having Augustine on the back foot. Due to Lord Vincendius' power over the legal authority of Norne, he would make a prime target for his slimy, underhanded plans.
