Former Dark Lord of New Belton. [color=black][u][b]How long have you been in the city?[/b][/u][/color] I've been here since the day I was born and I aim on being here 'til the day I die. [color=black][u][b]What was your greatest accomplishment in the city?[/b][/u][/color] Weren't my title hint enough? I ruled the city. Through magic and violence and political machinations, I enslaved, coerced, and subjugated every facet of power within New Belton. I controlled it all. My word was law. [color=black][u][b]Why did you stop?[/b][/u][/color] As the story goes, where there's a Dark Lord there's always a Hero questing to end that Dark Lord's evil reign. Many thought themselves to be that Hero. I proved all of them wrong... All of them but one... All of them but her... [color=black][u][b]What do you desperately need?[/b][/u][/color] When I ruled the city, my title was well earned. I was evil. Corrupt. My soul firmly in the grasp of the darkness. She lifted me up and out out of that darkness. But how does that old saying go again? Old habits die hard, right? You ask what I desperately need. I desperately need to stay strong against those old habits that just won't die. She gave her life to save my soul. I can't let that be for nothing. I won't let that be for nothing.
