The devisions ripping through Serum City soon splintered into OverTown and the powerful families with vested interests.
Among those, The Aldermans, stood as the oldest and most influential. The distance between the high society of Bored Apes in OverTown and the playground of the metropolis beneath it were closer than many would believe.
Blaksoot sought The Aldermans backing to balance the scales in his battle with Darkfang. The conflict continued and the Aldermans appearances became less frequent until they disappeared entirely from the public eye.

This libertine was born on the side of the coin that royalty had its back to, known to frequent the many watering holes of Serum City and share the stalls with its bruisers and barflies. His roots are anything but royal, armed with an extensive armoury of language and overly flamboyant clothing, he has crafted a convincing veneer of regality that grants him an audience in every room, although he tends to prefer those with a fully stocked bar. Whether it’s permanent inebriation or his poetic leanings, everything he delivers is wrapped in allegory and conceits that require footnotes to fully grasp.
Information flows freely in the drinking dens he frequents, and that's the currency he uses to manipulate the Cartel's operations, carving out a kingdom in the gutter. He knows its alleyways better than the rats themselves, and very little moves in this place without The Duke pulling a string, lighting a fire, or whispering in an ear. Though he may be the loudest peacock on the cobbles, the moves he makes to sow others fates are never seen.
