Baron Matt Graham (2)

Pudgy faced, brown hair shaped like a bowl, and ridiculously long flowing blue cape

The baron’s public story is that he was part of the native Fyorinians who were already there when the Antilleans landed. They supposedly had their own God who gets manifested through a living person and the baron is currently that person. He claims the antilleans locked him up and they put them with the worst part of the worst because they knew how dangerous he was. That story gave him cachet among the prisoners and he orchestrated a breakout while the antilleans were changing labor just because it’s so goddamn hot there. They don’t stay around that long  so he does that and they coordinate to break out when the labor it’s lowest

But the real story is that a whole bunch of drunk Georgians just wandered down there before Fyorina was an established colony, and just did their shit there with Georgina’s rules. The Baron was picked up as some common criminal, and the warden of the jail is like a “ Spanish redeeming governor” who thinks the barren can be rehabilitated just like a barbarian becoming a christian. While imprisoned, he is put through a course of religious indoctrination, which is where he gets the idea for lances torture and also realizes how religion wins over people and thinks he can do it way better. He begins to do that and coordinates all the prisoners for the escape, same way as the other strategy, but in his jail cell is a hanging blue tapestry of Deus Ultima Sins. He looks at it each day he’s imprisoned ande finally he puts it over his head over wears it like a cape because his real strategy taught him that you have to look bad ass to win over followers. Essentially it’s strong man propaganda.
