Duke Darkwood

 The Hated Fated 

This is who Kayne had been recently reporting audits to in Sigil, but only for the last six months or so...

Duke Rowan Darkwood has only recently arrived in the City of Doors, yet in less than a month, he has already seized the mantle of Factol of the Fated through a rapid and suspicious ascent that many Cagers attribute to underhanded "cross-trading". 

Decades ago as a much older version of himself, he instigated the Faction Wars. His return to Sigil as a much younger self is more than unsettling; some believe he was an omen to another war in Sigil. A few months later there was a skirmish of warriors in the streets of Sigil that lasted nearly a month. Although no connection was made to his return to cast any blame. This recent month is referred to by some as the "Month of Death". 

Local residents regard this commanding, craggy-faced noble with such intense distrust that many would rather arm-wrestle a marilith than suffer a visit from the "Duke" or his "Heartless" tax collectors. Given his arrogant, demanding attitude and the fact that he has his sharpest agents openly researching the Lady’s secrets, the taverns of the Clerk's Ward are rife with whispers wondering why such a "High Civic Threat" hasn't already been immediately mazed.
