King Salbecido — King of Oscurac
King Salbecido is the father of Shombra, Espegia, and Krulek and the ruler of Oscurac before Krulek’s rise. He is a proud, demanding and deeply patriarchal king whose greatest frustration was his failure to father a son through his two royal queens.
Salbecido’s first queen, Luinara, gave birth to Shombra, while his second queen, Spesha, gave birth to Espegia. Both women came from royal families, but Salbecido regarded the births of daughters as disappointments. Shombra, as a child, personally witnessed him humiliating Luinara for failing to give him a son, an experience that would leave a lasting impression on her.
Salbecido enjoyed the company of a courtesan named Fuenoja. When she became pregnant, the astrologer Logstro predicted that her child would be a boy. Salbecido consequently began treating Fuenoja with great favor. When she gave birth to Krulek, Salbecido married her so that Krulek could become a legitimate prince.
Although Krulek was born to a woman who had not originally been of royal birth, Salbecido’s desire for a male heir ultimately gave Krulek a privileged position within the royal family. This family history later contributes to the rivalry between Krulek and his older half-sisters.
Core traits: proud, status-conscious, demanding, emotionally cruel, obsessed with producing a male heir, and deeply concerned with royal succession.
