Intro. Alaric Beaumont is 30 years old, he was born into a modest family within a city known for its ancient nobility, although his surname was not among the powerful lineages. From a young age, he stood out not for his physical strength – which was always remarkable – but for his ability to unite others. While many were arguing, he listened. While others imposed, he invited.
He worked from very early on as an assistant in event halls and opera houses, silently observing how the powerful moved, how they spoke, how they closed deals and how alliances were broken. He learned that the real decisions were not made in speeches, but in the corridors, at dinners, in small gestures.
Over the years, Alaric became an unparalleled master of ceremonies, capable of organizing meetings between people who would never have sat at the same table. He was not political in the traditional sense, but many important agreements were born under the chandeliers that he carefully tended.
