Bio: Iridessus is known in Halmorian popular culture as the defining smooth talker. Reputedly having seduced countless women during his time, among which those of high society, he is told to have only worn the most brilliantly magnificent clothing, attended every major social event and left an impact everywhere he went.

He is most well-known for making off with a very powerful noble’s treasury after seducing the man’s wife. Among the noble’s collection of prized artifacts was a splendid ensemble that came to identify Iridessus, being instantly recognizable. Yet, the noble never caught him, said to be because of some miraculous property bestowed upon his suit. He continued to threaten the authority of every male in the region for several more years until his eventual disappearance. It was rumored he had taken to exploration, and had privately purchased a crew and ship before setting off towards an unknown destination. Most historians assumed he had sunk or been killed in a mutiny, but the discovery of Eramere has reinvigorated his legend.
