Lord Vedemire Darkhorse
In Porsk - The town is under the rule of House Quail and has been for almost 400 years. At this point the rule is almost ceremonial like many of the cities and towns of the Eigerlands.
The current head of the house in Porsk is the Baroness Gillian Offerdahl Quail. She is an older human woman but fiercely intelligent. Her current goal is to fend off the takeover of the main government by a group of dwarven ministers from Stoneport. She also has taken a strange man as her Paramour by the name Ionn Castaliogne...

School of Enchantment:
Hypnotic Gaze - Continually use your standard action to remove one enemy from the fight without a spell slot. Creatures in this state the are charmed and incapacitated, easily pried for information or to avoid them noticing whatever you don't want them to focus on.
Instinctive Charm - Use your reaction to divert any attack roll away from you without a spell slot, usable every round, vs Wis. It instead attacks the creature closest to it, most ideally its own ally, and can apply to spell attack rolls as well as weapon attack rolls.
Split Enchantment - Whenever you use a 1st level or higher enchantment spell that targets one creature, have it target two if another is within the spell's reach. You have one or more such spells for almost every level of spell, and twinning can be very useful. Uses no extra resource and is usable every round.
Alter Memories - Charm enemies with magic without them knowing that you did so, removing the downside to doing this for any reason at all. During the duration of your charms, you can edit sections of their memory out of anything that occurred while the spell was in effect, vs Int. With at-will Charm Persons at level 18, this feature is practically a cheat code. Only affects one charmed target per cast though, even if you twinned or upcast it.
Wizard:
Spell Mastery: At level 18, a level 1 and level 2 no longer cast a spell slot to use at its level:
Charm Person to get at-will thralls, possibly two at a time without upcasting, no concentration required. With your School of Enchantment features, there's almost never a time that isn't right for using this.
Crown of Madness combines well with Charm Person, letting you control their state of mind to enable more attacks. Compel both targets to attack each other; since the damage doesn't come from one of its enemies, Charm Person doesn't end. If you nabbed an especially powerful pet, you could even make it forget the entire affair after it demolishes its entire group.
Signature Spells: At level 20, get an extra cast of two level 3 spells. Go for strong and thematic options that don't require upcasting:
Hypnotic Pattern counts as a charm spell to an area, qualifying for your Enchantment features, though it will take a standard action for each target if you want to edit their memories
Enemies Abound while twinned can turn two allies into each other's demise, using up their strongest features on each other instead of at your team. Affected enemies choose targets at random within reach, but the spell extends from 120 feet, well outside of many attacks to tidily contain two enemies. Charm Person both of them to convince them run out to 120 feet if you need to.
