Sigimund Vonshiles

Sigumund Vonshiles was a foreign born merchant who traveled to Taswick Isle as a young man in order to sell his father's products. Unbeknownst to him, the isle was under struct rule by Jaymund Beliest at a time that would later be known as the Terrible Era. Unable to leave, he was forced to stay on the isle and later became an aristocrat of sorts. Incredible with words, he was able to convince most of the populace to revolt against the evil lord Jaymund Beliest.

When they were successful in doing so, he "rightfully" became their fair leader and worked to reverse the damage done by the previous lord, Jaymund. He was also a staunch supporter of power for the people, and so was responsible partly for the creation of the Council of Seacliff.

It never worked as he had hoped, however, as most council electees were powerful lords who did not acurately represent the interests of the people.
