Tournament Master
Lord Aptel Mittens
A half-elf of 92 years of age, Lord Aptel Mittens is world renowned for his lineage alone. The masses think of him to be little more than a high-class man barking orders to expand the wealth and influence of his family, a man unwilling to work hard himself when he could just as easily command another to do it for him. Lord Mittens’ largely embraces the negative perceptions of his arrogance and entitlement, going so far as to hide most of his adventuring accolades and benevolent deeds. Lord Aptel Mittens is an odd man, truly understood by no one. Perhaps his particularly blend of attitude and aptitudes led to success in the Tournament of the Apex Adventurer when it was still an extremely deadly event.
