Golden Prince

The Golden Prince is named for his golden adornments, which he was presumably buried with after it was clear that imprisonment was not a sufficient punishment for his crimes.

The golden prince struck a deal with a powerful demon lord to grant power to his entire family line, which was a large part of the population given the Viraji traditions of prima notca. Though none of the extended family is recognized as royalty, they all share the same blood and were granted immense socerous power overnight.

The prince's deal was discovered by his father, who had him imprisoned after the civil wars broke out for his insolence and afflicting the kingdom to pay such a terrible price. The golden prince outlived his father, and his brothers who ruled after his violent end. His brothers found the golden prince was not aging, nor did he starve or thirst throughout his imprisonment- and they feared his power. They filled in the rooms around his prison with granite and soil so he could never escape.

The Viraji empire collapsed shortly after his brother's mismanagement of the kingdom and the Viraji passed into legend while the golden prince remained in his cells. He plots to return to power and restore his kingdom to it's rightful place as the most powerful mages in the world.

Luckily the only way for him to escape would be for his prison to be unmade.
