Alexander Kriemhild

Alexander Kriemhild is the Warlord Prince of Pruul. He took power after a military campaign that throttle the Queens of Pruul into submitting to him. Unique to a Territory ruler, Alexander keeps no formal Court and all ruling is done through him and his military forces.

Family of Origin
The Kriemhild family was not a particularly powerful or prestigious family. Alexander's father, Bartholomew, was trained as a Master of the Guard but could not find a position suited to his ego. Bartholomew was a drunk and an abusive partner and father.

Dahlia, Bartholomew's wife and Alexander's mother, never stood up from herself or her children. By the time he was a teenager, Alexander hated her.

Bartholomew died in a bar fight when Alexander was seventeen. Dahlia still lives; Alexander set her up in a tiny village near the border where she lives comfortably but he does not have to see her.

Alexander has two siblings, both sisters. Renee is a Priestess who is two years younger than Alexander. Chloe is a Black Widow Healer who is five years younger than Alexander.

Rise to Power
As a teenager, Alexander trained as a soldier under his father. Bartholomew might have a terrible reputation for being a drunk and unreliable, but Alexander did not and strove to build a good reputation for himself.

By the time Alexander was comfortable enough in his skin to make his Offering, he had assembled a small army willing to swear fealty to him rather than serve any witch. The Gray Jeweled Warlord Prince began a campaign that would end, four years later, with him firmly planted in power over all of Pruul.

Some criticized him for the last few months of his campaign. He became the lover of the then-Queen of Pruul Scarlett despite them ultimately being enemies. Their daughter was born six months before he stormed the palace. When he took the palace, Scarlett ordered him to step down. He killed her.

Pruul Under His Rule
Alexander rules with a powerful military force. There are no Queens who rule in Pruul, though Queens are respected for their talents and ability to heal the land.
