[Baron Aestrovico Ludocristo]

Expanded Background:

The town of Malebolge was founded 200 years ago by the Thayan exile Malebolgio Ludocristo. A mighty magician with too many unpopular ideas even for an absolute mageocracy, Malebolgio lead his followers and slaves to an unclaimed plot of land along the Sword Coast. There, they built the original walls of their sanctuary, and in time the town around it.

Malebolgio declared himself the first Baron of Malebolge, a title that has been passed on every generation of his family. Though Malebolgio himself was human, he often took his favorite elf slave to bed, and she in turn beget his descendants. The current Baron Aestrovico is himself a thick blend of elven and human influence. Bloodline means little in the Ludocristo family.

The Cult of Malebolge worships, or rather worshipped, an entity called the Great Beyonder. The Great Beyonder is described in their litany as 'the alpha predator of the cosmos, the mightiest shark in a bottomless ocean of realities.' Warlocks insist they are not so much blessed by the creature, but are allowed to leech off its magical energies.

Beyond the practical magic rituals, the cult also indulged in a wide range of sexual and violent crimes that are quite illegal in most part of Faerun. It was only inevitable that a group of adventurers would stumble upon their secret society and wipe them out. Aestrovico's father Maximo, his sister Exquisita, and his concubine mother Sylvia were killed, though the precise manner of their death is unknown.

Aestrovico was away in Baldur's Gate, attending to his education. His college instructors banished him upon learning of his family's unholy secrets and suddenly Aestro was living on the street, with only what coin he had brought with him to the city.

The last Ludocristo turned to the road, hiring the best bodyguard he could afford.
