King Priscus Crispus

The King of Nangai is widely considered both outside and inside Nangai to be a despicable man. Under Bazrian rule he had no claws of course, and was content to simply being exploitative of his people and belligerent to his neighbors and courtiers. A born narcissist, Priscus demands the reverence and submission of all under him and near him, and manages to stay in power through sheer cunning and ambition with which he successfully dispatches foes while promising eventual gains to the loyal, ruling through the mixed exploitation of fear and greed. He has wed twice, the first gave him only a daughter then died under suspicious circumstances when she failed to produce any further children in the following several years. His second is Queen Tacita's sister, Claira Nymphodora to whom he has been married two years without her sister's blessing. Ever since the marriage, Priscus has become increasingly hostile to Nimizu, likely out of a desire to employ his new wife's claim to the kingdom.

Priscus has not yet had any children with Claira, but despite the ire this earned his last wife, Priscus seems pleased with his new queen, likely due to the benefits she offers in cunning to match his own. Priscus' only heir is his sixteen year old daughter from his first marriage, Princess Nona Crispus. Priscus seems uninterested, however, in grooming his only child to rule, keeping her entirely out of public eye.
