Count Lerillic

Lerillic Papius was the Count of Leyawiin in the Second Era.

Background
Born to a noble family of Anvil in 2E 500, Lerillic was taught swordplay, horse-riding, literature, arts and music from a young age. While he considered these skills and knowledge essential, he couldn't stand living among nobility. At the age of fifteen, Lerillic escaped from his family's manor and hid in a ship standing by the docks. The ship's captain soon found the boy, revealing himself to be a pirate. Lerillic then lived among the plunderers for ten years, pillaging the coastal villages of Valenwood and Elsweyr. At that time he developed his hatred for the races of Mer and beastfolk. It was when he met Ri'Gattha-Shavar, a Khajiit warrior, and they became bitter foes.

Tired of living the life of crime, Lerillic betrayed his companions while they were docked in Leyawiin, and they were thrown in jail. Lerillic was rewarded for this deed, and decided to live among the nobles once more, eventually gaining trust. In 2E 532, Lerillic was named Count of Leyawiin.

Using his power, he secretly invaded the lands of Elsweyr; however, his attempts were to no avail due to Ri'Gattha-Shavar's excellent strategy. After the war that lasted for more than 20 years, the last of Lerillic's troops were defeated and the Count himself disrespected among the royalty of Cyrodiil, he left for Corinth at the age of 72, disguised as a traveling monk and planning to assassinate Ri'Gattha-Shavar. However, he was detected, and the Khajiit offered him a chance in the last duel. Lerillic agreed, and after a lengthy battle, he was defeated. The former Count was dismembered as a punishment, and Ri'Gattha-Shavar became the King's advisor after his victory.
