Duke Bardorba's Family The Duke Himself 64 years old approx. 5'9" Former Member of the Valendian Parliament

The Duke's full name is Aldous Byron Bardorba. He participated actively in the Valendian Civil War 36 years ago, earning recognition as one of the heroes who brought that conflict to a close. Thanks to the merits of his valor his political say always held especial weight, dominating the Valendian Parliament for a very long time. Though he retired his position several years prior for reasons more than just his health, the Duke's influence in Parliament has hardly diminished.

In addition to his official Parlimentary duties, the Duke was also charged with "monitoring" the Dark, making certain some incidents never reach public attention. Common rumor names him the benefactor of the Müllenkamp Cult.

Despite his increasing age, the Duke's mind hasn't fogged in the slightest and though ill he retains all of his dignity. If he does have a weak-point, it is certainly his young son Joshua.

When Müllenkamp occupied his manor, he safely retreated to his Secondary Residence. Yet, one week later, he was found dead in his appartments, supposedly at the hand of the visiting Ashley.

CHARACTER ANALYSIS

The Heart of a Manipulator of the Dark: Though it was his own manor that was occupied, the Duke escaped even the slightest difficulty. Safe in his Secondary Residence, he watched the events occur. He then went as far as to order the sacrifice of his family and staff.

He does turn the same cynicism on himself, saying it is his fate to "rot alive." That casts some question about the heart-coldness of this "manipulator" of the Dark.
