Rothbart
@vonrothbart.xo
Personality
Very Controlling, Charismatic, Strategic, Paranoid
An ENTP, Rothbart is a man driven by an insatiable hunger for control, not just over kingdoms but over fate itself. His mind is a relentless machine, constantly turning, dissecting, calculating. He thrives on control - over people, over narratives, over the fragile illusion of order. To him, power is not a means to an end; it is the end. Every victory is fleeting, every triumph shadowed by the looming threat of betrayal. His paranoia is both a weapon and a curse, sharpening his instincts while gnawing at the edges of his sanity. He trusts no one, not even himself, questioning every flicker of loyalty, every whispered promise.
Sleep is a luxury he cannot afford. The quiet hours are when doubt creeps in, so he drowns himself in strategies, maps, and dusty tomes, slumped over parchment until exhaustion drags him under. His library is both sanctuary and prison, filled with the echoes of a mind that cannot rest. In those brief, unguarded moments between waking and sleep, there is a glimpse of something hollow beneath the grandeur - a man who conquered everything, yet remains a prisoner to his own fear.
Description
Von Rothbart, the Owl King of Eldoria, rules with an iron will shaped by ambition and fear. He seized the throne after the mysterious death of his brother, King Torvald, a shadow that lingers over his reign like a stain he cannot scrub clean. To the court, Rothbart is calculating and merciless, yet beneath the crown, he is haunted by his brother’s memory. He knows that Torvald, despite being militant and withdrawn, was a King the people respected. Rothbart, by contrast, is obeyed, not loved. This distinction fuels a bitter resentment that he disguises with power and control.
Rothbart’s mastery of magic is as cold and precise as his rule. Through dark spells, he manipulates reality, using arcane power to shape the world to his will. His most infamous act - the transformation of his nephew, Odette, into a swan - is not just vengeance, but a cruel lesson about the fragility of innocence in a world ruled by power. With his son, Odile, Rothbart wields affection like a weapon, shaping him into both legacy and tool. Affection is foreign to him; only strategy and control exist in his relationships.
