Raoul Lamarck

A strong leader of House Lamarck, he seeks to destroy House Delphine and thus ensure his house's power over their portion of Arcadia.

Biography
He originally was skeptical of the intentions of the new 'Arcadians'. He thought them to be a flash in the pan, a people he could assimilate into his own within a generation. But he soon realized that the spirit of the people could not be easily appeased. He began to hate House Delphine, because unlike his own house, the people loved them.

The beginning of his plan was to marry his much younger brother, Robert Lamarck, to Elizabeth Delphine. This would place her within his reach to strike against her. He began by using his own sister, Ral Lamarck, who shared his distrust of Elizabeth. She would make comments to ease Elizabeth while she visited the family. Ral would then lure her into a trap. The plan went well, Ral was able to gain Elizabeth's trust, but could not distract her suitably before the wedding took place. Raoul even thought of murdering both his brother and her on their wedding night. It would be too suspicious, he realized, and told her to invite her 'as a sister'.

Elizabeth finally accepted, but escaped the ambush. She was able to reach the servants she brought with her, including her trusted Lugal Teradoc and several warriors brought with her. Raoul send soldiers to kill them, but Robert stopped and misdirecting them. Raoul was then confronted by his brother, who he had put in a dungeon. House Trust and House Teradoc's men invaded Lamarck lands and slew every single member of House Lamarck they found. Nearly four hundred members, barring Robert Lamarck only. Raoul was among the first slain.
