Tiragius

As if born under a lucky star, Tiragius' mother brought him into the world in a hamlet that held the name of Amnwater, on the day she had just bought half the town's deeds to houses and businesses.

At the age of sixteen, however, he was witness to the vile invasion of fiends that decimated much of eastern Amn. Still, with destiny smiling upon him once more, he was the sole survivor from his home town. Using his mother's teachings, he quickly used the wealth the family had stashed everywhere throughout Amn to gain a position of power in the nation's capital. A year later, he used that power to recreate the city's government, establishing himself as the prime ruler and reforming the laws to be driven by money.

His unnaturally long life - and reign - is owed to an unnamed wizard that Tiragius paid to magically slow his aging. This was not without side-effects, however. He has since been unable to produce fire with his breath.
