Fis Malhitu

Born under the storm-tossed skies of Galori, Fis Malhitu came into the world shadowed by the looming figure of his elder brother, Scarsan. Their father, Avãosa, was the iron-fisted Senhstu of the formidable Malhitu crime family. Yet even as a boy, Fis bore the cool temperament of a born leader, while Scarsan’s fiery nature blazed wildly, casting long shadows over their family’s prospects.   Fis grew up under the dual influences of his father’s ruthless business acumen and the seedy underbelly of Galorican society. The Castlemoons, known for their involvement in smuggling, gambling, prostitution, and extortion, were the puppet masters of this dark underworld. Their true power, however, lay in the illicit trade of outlawed magical items, particularly those connected to The Exiled Tradition. In a world desperately seeking the succor of medicinal magic, Fis found a lucrative trade that lined his pockets with gold.  
  But Fis had a weakness; he was seduced by the risky thrill of gambling. His debts accumulated, threatening not only his own future but that of the Malhitu family. Meanwhile, Scarsan, who should have been the natural heir to their father’s throne, was revealed to have a debilitating opium addiction. The timing of the revelation was suspect, but the damage was done.   In the wake of these revelations, Fis was thrust into the limelight. The family, now teetering on the brink of internal turmoil, found an unlikely savior in him. His debts were miraculously cleared by an anonymous benefactor, rumored to be the dark cult,The Hex, to whom the Castlemoons owed numerous, unspoken favors.   Assuming his father’s mantle, Fis quickly displayed the cold, calculated ruthlessness of a true leader. His cool head and cunning strategies not only steadied the wavering Malhitu family but also elevated the Castlemoons’ standing within the underworld. Yet, despite his rise to power, whispers of Fis's ties to the illustrious banking family, the House of Viinzu, continue to circulate, casting a veil of suspicion over his dealings.   Though Fis presents the facade of a calm and composed leader, he is not averse to demonstrating his capacity for vicious, decisive action. He is a man who has maneuvered his way through the dark labyrinths of Galorican crime, always a step ahead of his rivals, using his intellect and influence to maintain his power.   The boy who once lived under his brother's long shadow now rules the roost, a dark and compelling figure in Galorican society. From the cursed healing magic trade to the smoke-filled gambling dens, Fis Malhitu’s name echoes with a mixture of dread and respect, a testament to his unshakeable hold over the city’s underworld.  

Relationship with Ternontes

  The relationship between Fis Malhitu and Ternontes Lasa has always been defined by a strange dance of power, subtle competition, and a begrudging mutual respect. As Fis navigates his way through the volatile currents of the Castlemoons syndicate, he often finds himself compared to Ternontes, whose reputation for meticulous discipline and luxurious taste stands in stark contrast to his own dark charisma and unpredictable risk-taking.   Fis observes Ternontes’ relentless pursuit of the finer things in life with a sense of wry amusement. Ternontes is always decked out in the most opulent clothes, surrounded by exotic, exquisite artifacts and boasting about his latest rare gem acquisition. He sees this show of wealth as a vain attempt to outshine him, to establish a form of dominance that Fis, with his penchant for gambling, can't attain.   Yet, despite their differences, a shared determination to secure the reign of the Castlemoons binds them together. Their leadership styles often clash—Ternontes' strategic and methodical approach frequently butting heads with Fis' impulsive, bold decisions. This, however, only serves to underscore the influence each man has within their syndicate.   It’s not uncommon for disputes between the two to stir unrest among the ranks, yet they both understand the importance of their alliance. A strange equilibrium persists, as if the very contrasts that fuel their rivalry also fortify their bond, allowing them to jointly preside over the syndicate and the Galorican underworld with an unyielding grip.
