Lord Bailblight took over his family's house seat after the death of his brother and father in the previous rebellion. They had previously sat as the Advisor General and the Guildmaster of the Swords and Shields, but since Allistar was a well-known wizard he could not claim these positions. He has always had the pity of the court since the members know he should have inherited these titles as well but instead had nothing to comfort him after the death of his father and brother.
