Rodrik
Prince Rodrik was a Bretonnian Lord and the bastard son of Duke Tudual of L'Anguille. [1a]
In 1847 IC, his father dispatched him on an expedition to Lustria, hoping the obnoxious youth would never return. Arriving in the so-called New World, he plundered several ruins, attacked the island of the Amazons and then made an equally ill-advised attack on the city of Xlanhuapec. [1a]
He approched nonchalantly, not realising that the city was inhabited and defended, not another ruin. The Lizardmen allowed his force to enter bu then carried out a devestating ambush which wiped out all but the Prince and a few knights. Attempting to escape, Rodrik was guided initially by a pair of Wiaimen - despite them being (in his words) - disgusting little commoners. [1a]
Ridrik and his band of knights fought hard to escape but in the end were all killed and devoured, the treasures returned to Xlanhuapec. [1c]

Quotes
| Fool! Can't you see? My father sent us here to die! He wants me dead to protect my half-brother's precious succession. We are masterless men now and we must seek our own fortune - however we may.
