Saej Maelin
Councillor Saej Maelin (a.k.a. The Spider)
His dark eyes glimmer with untold secrets and unsatisfied ambition. He is the heart of the politics in the fortress and its festering Court. Anybody who is anybody knows him.

Personal history
Born as the third child of a prominent noble family, he was never expected to do anything. Yet as with the upper class Aelgari family structures, he was raised alongside all of his cousins and siblings by tutors. While they expected their places, he gained his with persistence and ambition. His childhood family connections helped him get a place as a Councillor where he soon wormed his way into one of the most powerful places in the Court. No one seemed to notice that he was just the third son of a smaller branch after that. They knew his name, called him by the Spider and feared his power.
Education
Tutored from a young age, he got nothing but the finest noble education. He then studied under a Councillor before becoming one himself.
Employment
He has had a multitude of apprenticeships to minor and major political figures on his road to power, but he never actually had to work seeing as his family had enough money to sustain a comfortable life.
