Praesens Casurus

Praesens Casurus is the current leader of the city of Thalstead. His uncle was the former leader of Thalstead, and Praesens took control when his uncle passed on without any living sons.

Under his uncle, Thalstead prospered just as it had before under previous Casurus rulers.

Under Praesens, the city has declined rapidly, and is now a cesspool of crime and nefarious activity.

Many blame Praesens for the issues, but others feel it isn't entirely his fault.

On a day like any other, Praesens was strolling the Thalstead marketplace as he normally did.

Abruptly and forcefully, he was attacked from behind by a shadowy assassin. In the next moments, a group of assassins began attacking innocents in the crowd causing an uncontrollable chaos.

Several in the marketplace began to fight back and attempt to stop the madness.

A bald man in robes was whisked away during the confusion, but most of the patrons in the marketplace were surrounded by city guard as they attempted to gain control of the situation.
