Occupation

He is the governor of the Meropid Fortress and has been awarded the title of Duke, the highest honorary title that can be bestowed upon a citizen of Fontein. He tries to keep to the shadows, and is characterized by his unflappability and trustworthiness.

Description

If Wriothesley had a business card, it would say just that. Without further ado, we can say that he runs that silent place on the seabed where exiled criminals go. The fortress of Meropidus is a haven for villains. Though the place is unassuming, the conflicts of interest that lurk here can spell trouble. Unfortunately, anyone who plots to infiltrate this place disappears without a sound. Like bread crumbs dropped into soup. When someone flatters his lordship the Duke for being such a great problem solver, Wriothesley puts his tea cup on the table and.... pulls out a newspaper.

Story

Much to the relief of the House of Ordali, most of the inhabitants of Coeur de Fontaine are very law-abiding, and so the Meropid fortress is never encountered on their life's journey. Along with this is another sad, albeit natural, fact: those who have served their sentences underwater rarely return to a full life in the surface world and do not like to talk about their experiences below. So for many Fontaineans, the Meropid Fortress is not so much a specific place as a general idea, a warning, a symbol of punishment and misfortune, or even just a swear word. Because of this, Wriothesley leads a modest life as an unknown person, not at all befitting the holder of a ducal title. And at the very moment when someone says, "If you do that again, you'll go to the Meropid Fortress" or "Damn job, I'd rather be underwater twisting bolts," the manager of the underwater fortress may well be walking along the cobbled road to the café to get himself a treat for afternoon tea.

Description

In fact, Wriothesley rarely leaves the fortress. Using the network of information and connections he has personally created, he can obtain any information or materials he needs without leaving his office. But he knows very well that if he locks himself in an office with a multitude of worries constantly falling upon him, he will either stop sleeping normally at night, or, on the contrary, will fall asleep at the bottom of an eternal sleep. In order to manage the fortress comfortably, two things are needed - mora and manpower. Fortunately, the fortress of Meropides is a huge factory, and Wriothesley knows how to run business very well - even the Palace of Mermonia is among his satisfied clients. It is important that caring for the interests of the Palace is not considered flirting with the authorities, and the Court de Fontaine has no right to inquire too much about the affairs of the fortress of Meropides, so in the end it all comes down to the sea - the more the better. And although the requirements of the Chamber of Zhestion for documents are very strict, Wriothesley is happy to fill them. (The Fontaine Kinetic Energy Research Institute could have competed with the Palace due to its huge need for archium for research, but after the institute literally blew up, they had to temporarily abandon this plan for cooperation.

Story

Maybe everything will work out later.) The rich often make a mistake, putting mora above people. Wriothesley was lucky in this: he was not born rich and therefore knows how important it is to be able to get along with others. He treats all the inhabitants of the fortress equally, be they prisoners, guards or other employees, and never finds fault in vain, as long as the person does his job well. But if someone goes beyond the prescribed limits, then he will always find something to say. After all, they live in a closed underwater space, most of whose inhabitants have no way out. Of course, Wriothesley would like everyone in the fortress to remain reasonable, but if words are not enough, he has other methods of persuasion. At the same time, he believes that sometimes it is quite possible to ignore the inevitable small, meaningless skirmishes. Sane people know not to make a mountain out of a molehill, while the rest can go where they belong. Not only water has the ability to cleanse itself; people cope with it no worse. Thanks to this principle, Wriothesley does not fall off his feet from overtime, but enjoys a very significant amount of free time.

Story

As a teenager, Wriothesley was raised by a foster family. It would seem that everything was fine, but the truth about the “kindness” of his parents was incredibly cruel. They raised children, and later sold them into bad hands. Those children who found out about this were cruelly disposed of. Wriothesley decided not to be the one who would suffer the same fate. He killed his foster parents and freed the children. The crime stained his hands and soul, but he longed for justice. At the trial, he told about the murder in all details and even added a few details, leaving no reason for public debate. But the discussion still unfolded: at first, the audience discussed past cases related to orphans, trying to find patterns, then suddenly began to stand up for him, claiming that the victims themselves were villains, and therefore he deserved pardon. But this noise did not affect the final verdict of the court, and the criminal went to serve his sentence underwater. Before leaving, the employee of the Chamber Zhestion, responsible for keeping the protocol, asked him again for his personal information: “- So your name is... Wriothesley, then? And your birthday? - Today.”

Story

Everyone knows that you can't just become the most important person in the fortress of Meropides. You can't just buy a title. This is a place where all the rules you might be used to in Teyvat don't exist. It has its own rules, its own schedule, and its own currency (premium coupons instead of mora). Long before Wriothesley came here as a prisoner, the coupons were traded much more freely, and the range of goods available for purchase was much wider. He spent a lot of time to collect the initial capital in illegal fistfights, and then spent it to earn even more. He was observant, eloquent and modest in his behavior, and as a result, no one noticed how soon he had more premium coupons in his hands than all the others put together. The accumulated wealth made him famous among the prisoners. And then what was expected happened: in one night, the manager of the fortress emptied his account.

Story

In the end, he challenged the fortress manager to a duel in the name of honor, justice, and order. Of course, the difference in their status made the idea of a duel dubious, but not a single prisoner or guard in the prison objected. Luckily, Risley did not have to stain his hands with blood, since the manager simply escaped at the last moment. However, Wriothesley was just due to leave the fortress that day, and due to the manager's absence, there was no one to sign his release papers. So he simply walked into the office in the central part of the fortress and took matters into his own hands. Thus, Wriothesley became the boss. As soon as he gained access to the personal file, Wriothesley thoroughly studied the documents. There was little material there, and this was all that the Fontaine authorities were able to find out at that time. According to the purchase and sale records of the host family, he was an adopted foundling, no other reliable data was found. While looking through the documents, he saw several familiar names, but his memories of these people were fleeting and indistinct.
