Prince Andru

Prince Andru Cozar

The Bralian monarch is a slender, graceful man of 44 years. Self-serving and devious, he firmly believes that the end justifies the means. He is the current leader of House Cozar.

Personality

Intelligent and serious, Andru reminded many of his grandfather Prince Cozar. He cared for few people beyond himself; he was conniving and shrewd, and in his plans, he believed that the ends justified the means. Nevertheless, he had a charming personality with a good sense of humor, was a quiet but capable ruler, and showed great skill in diplomacy. Andru preferred wisdom and patience over force, which caused some to see him as weak.

Over the first fifteen years of his reign, Andru doubled the size of Bral's army and tripled the size of its wildspace navy. His rule saw a drift toward a more lawful Bralian society. Andru, recognizing that his small city was not a powerful state, tried to make the Rock into a neutral center for diplomacy and negotiation among the spacefaring races. Prince Andru gained great profit serving as a mediator and powerbroker.

The prince rarely held court, relying instead on a loyal group of retainers. While more businesslike than his predecessors, Andru would still host entertainment on occasion, such as banquets and balls.

Mental characteristics

Education

As a boy, Andru initially studied magic, under the tutelage of the mage Gadaric Main, but he gave it up to study politics instead.

Social

Reign

The rumor is that when his father Prince Frun died, Andru orchestrated the murder of his older brother Calar, so that he could take the throne. This occurred only six days after Calar was crowned. Calar's widow claimed that her son Aric should take the throne, but Prince Andru simply had the rules of succession altered.

Calar's body was found in the jettisoned trash trailing behind the Rock. Andru ordered an investigation, and the official story was that a powerful underbaron moneylender had collaborated with the illithids to murder the prince. The underbaron and a small group of his men were executed.

Many citizens of Bral suspected that Andru owed money or favors to the moneylender whom he had executed for Calar's murder or even hired him to do the deed. The rumor persists to this day, but in general the population accepts Andru as the leader of Bral.

Contacts & Relations

Andru's consort was Cerena, a woman sixteen years younger than he. He cared for her, but it was not clear that he truly loved her.

Andru's proconsul was his former tutor, Gadaric Main. One of his closest friends was the half-elf Tiendor Alian, and the two had been friends since Andru was only a boy.

Family Ties

Andru was the younger son of Prince Frun. His brother was named Calar. Calar's son Aric, the heir-apparent to Bral's throne, was thus Andru's nephew.[8] Andru's sister-in-law, Aric's mother, was named Ellana.
