Wriothesley: facts, personality, past, vision +

He is serious, disciplined and calm, but he is not cold. • He has a deep sense of duty and treats everyone with respect, regardless of their past. • Although he seems distant, he actually cares for everyone in the Fortress, especially the most vulnerable. • He has a sarcastic and somewhat joking side, but he only shows it with people he trusts. The Keep is more than a prison: it's a refuge for the forgotten, and Wriothesley is its heart. • Manage everything efficiently: from supply chains to internal conflicts. • His influence goes beyond the walls: Fontaine's top brass respects (and fears) his political power and autonomy. • Although he doesn't seek conflict, he doesn't allow himself to be manipulated by the judicial system or by Neuvillette.
