Lord Hawthorne
Lord William B. Hawthorne is a Kythiran general, veteran of the Grand War, and current Grand Chancellor of the Kythiran Empire under Empress Theodosia Viromaro. Born into a minor noble family, he rose through the Imperial Army through merit rather than inheritance, earning distinction for his logistical skill and defensive command during the later years of the war. Nicknamed The Keeper of Chesterfield he managed to maintain Kythiran control over the city despite a long siege.
After the war, Hawthorne transitioned into government service, overseeing demobilization and reconstruction efforts before entering the imperial court. He was appointed Grand Chancellor early in Theodosia’s reign, where he became a central figure in stabilizing the Empire during its postwar recovery. He is seen as one of the strongest Theodosian loyalists of the Empire, being quoted "(Emperor) Louis was too vain to steer the Empire through one of it's most pivital moments. Though the Reforma Carta was a travesty, it nonetheless did one good thing, it brought Her Imperial Highness to the throne."
