Falofogus grew up in the bustling trade district of Valestrum, a thriving community of raspels where commerce flourished amid the vibrant colors and ceaseless chatter of merchants. Gifted with a sharp intellect and an uncanny ability to discern lucrative opportunities, he quickly made a name for himself in the commodities trade. His knack for predicting market trends allowed him to accumulate a small fortune, but Falofogus yearned for more than just wealth. He sought influence that would grant him power in a rapidly changing world.

During an extravagant trade gala, Falofogus encountered members of the Warders, a shadowy organization that aimed to restrain the unchecked growth of scientific advancement. Fascinated by their ideals and the promise of wielding significant sway over the affairs of industry and technology, he soon ingratiated himself with them, offering his expertise and knowledge in trade and negotiation. The Warders quickly recognized his potential, promoting him to the rank of imperator, granting him authority over other personnel and the responsibility of orchestrating their covert plans.

Now stationed in Alchester, Falofogus has fully embraced his role as an overseer for the Warders, using the city’s bustling environment to oversee various activities aimed at stymying scientific innovation and managing the growing influence of technology in society. His days are filled with clandestine meetings, intelligence gathering, and strategizing how best to sway influential figures within the city to align with the Warders’ goals. His chief lieutenant, Nathaniel Manes, a compulsor who manipulates others’ motivations using intimidation and violence, is an ideal partner in carrying out Falofogus’s directives and enhancing their effectiveness.

Despite his ambitious plans, Falofogus is not without his challenges. Alchester’s dynamic political landscape makes it a hotbed for dissent, and he must navigate the intrigues and rivalries among various factions while maintaining the Warders’ agenda. His opportunistic nature pushes him to adapt swiftly to emerging situations, seeking alliances to bolster his influence. As he works tirelessly to build a network of like-minded individuals who share his vision of limiting scientific advancement, Falofogus remains committed to the Warders, convinced that their mission will ultimately shape a more stable world, one where nature reigns free from the encroachments of unregulated progress. He hopes to solidify his standing as a formidable leader within the Warders and a pivotal figure in Alchester’s ever-evolving socio-political tapestry through careful maneuvering and calculated strategies.
