Chapter 5

-The word that best describes Acitavian at this stage in his life is delusional.
The way in which he was raised left im completely disconnected from normal
emotions. This coupled with his inherently evil nature has turned him into a
control freak who thinks of himself as a sort of demi-god, head and shoulders
above those around him. This manifests in his obsession with his pseudo-royal
background and his disdain for "the peasantry" around him. He places a heavy
emphasis on wealth, culture and etiquette.

-He is obsessed with all things magic, especially the black arts of necromancy.
This is in large part due to the aforementioned fact that he cannot relate to
people other than his own mother. The dead offer him an audience and company
that he is comfortable with. Furthermore he views peasants as utterly useless
and feels that magic could reliably replace them. By turning a vagabond into
an undead servant he sees it as magic lending these people the worth and
usefullness that eldued them in life.

-This fascination with magic has led him to worship Lord Twist as he feels that
the proliferation of magic and it's guild's would lead to a better world.
To this aim he has declared an uncompromising war on the Village and any others
who would worship at altars associated with the BattleRagers. He intends to
preach on behalf of Lord Twist and keep the Veil as thin as possible in tribute.

-He is lost without his mother. While their relationship was not incestuous as
the people of Nol'Burim long rumoured, it was likely heading in that direction.
Often times he will speak to himself as though he is talking to his mother, this
is his way of sharing his intimiate thoughts as though she is still here guiding
him. In reality, she is of course long dead. He maintains her corpse with the
intent of restoring her life once he unlocks the magical secrets of life and death.

-He is fond of the Inn of the Eternal Star as they remind him of the Troupe that
came for his birthday party all those years before. He sees it as a means for the
peasants to entertain him. Furthermore he tolerates the Seekers of Balance for their
service to magic but ultimately considers them to be an insulting replacement for
the void left by the destruction of the Masters of Five Magics. He admires the Empire
greatly but is intimidated by their structure. He seeks to study them futher and
possibly seek the Oath when the time is right.
