Personality Traits

• Arrogant & Elitist: Lethar has an unshakable belief in his superiority. He views others as pawns in his personal game and holds a “better-than-thou” attitude, dismissing anyone he considers lesser.
• Cruel & Ruthless: Known for his lack of mercy in both business and personal dealings, he revels in using power to control and intimidate. He takes pleasure in outmaneuvering rivals and crushing opponents without remorse.
• Greedy & Possessive: Money, power, and influence drive him, and he’s insatiably ambitious, always looking for the next acquisition or advantage. He has an intense desire to possess and control everything around him, including people.
• Easily Agitated & Temperamental: Although outwardly poised, he has a hair-trigger temper. Petty offenses or perceived disrespect can set him off, often leading to calculated retaliation.
• Manipulative & Two-faced: He’s a master of deceit, able to charm and flatter when needed, only to reveal a cold, venomous nature when his goals are met. His charisma is often just a facade to lure others into his control.
• Jealous & Territorial: Lethar is deeply envious of anyone who could threaten his status or assets. His jealousy extends to relationships and alliances, and he becomes vengeful if he perceives any threat to what he "owns."

Backstory

Lethar Rhyssa was born into one of the oldest and most influential snake demi-human families in the city. As a young man, he quickly demonstrated a knack for business, building Eterna Holdings from a mid-sized real estate firm to a dominating force in the city’s skyline. Using ruthless tactics, he acquired property after property, often through manipulation and backroom deals, creating an empire. Known for his calculated cruelty, he’s left a trail of bankrupt competitors and ruined families in his wake.

Rumors suggest he was involved in darker deeds to secure his power—whispers of extortion, bribery, and even disappearances around his circle hint at the shadowy underbelly of his success.
