Devon Hawthorne has proven, not only in his time as viscount of Mughamar, but in his rise to power, that he is willing to be as ruthless as any when it comes to the great game. As a lower lord, vying for power in the court he accused his own mother of heresy as part of a ploy to become head of a house. She was executed by members of the Scarlet Guard when dozens of books of a heretical nature were found in her home. She claimed to have no knowledge of how they go there, but that was not enough of an excuse for the Scarlet Guard as any might have guessed. For his part, Devon had already been divided from his mother socially and politically, which allowed him to leapfrog his older brother in succession due to how close his brother had been with their mother. Too convenient for most observing from the outside, but still a strong enough claim to cement his position. In the intervening time, Lord Hawthorne has had a number of political rivals challenge him, and all seem to fall to their own vice exposed to the world. Hawthorne now stands as the head of one of the most powerful courts in the world and continues to play the game as fiercely as anyone ever has.
