Today for #ManCrushMonday, I give to you Padrus Masos, the first King of Boulderoth, a simple fisherman who grows up on The Grey Crag, a city like Atlantis and Alexandria with a pinch of the Florida Keys.  He's got a wife and three kids until his wife leaves for a super rich dude.  Then he's just got three kids.  The Grey Crag is destroyed by storms and earthquakes and sucked down into the ocean and in the chaos of their escape, his oldest son along with his daughter-in-law and grandbaby are lost.  He manages to get on board a ship with his two children Nokolus and Narus who are 15 and 10 at the time.  As they get closer to land there's a reef and a whole bunch of the ships go down and everyone gets eaten by sharks, but Padrus and his kids make it to shore and they get thrown in jail because the King of the Tarkins is all paranoid because he pissed off the Kambis and they put a curse on the whole kingdom and it's a big mess there.  Whatever.  Long story short, Padrus meets a Tarkin lady named Amaryllia Vulepus and they have a kid in 518 B.E. (that's Before the Empire).  There's a coup and Padrus finds himself king of a kingdom he doesn't understand.  His first act as king is to protect his new kingdom from all the zombies that arose because of the Curse of the Kambis.  So he and his eldest living son, Nikolus go out and they fight some zombies, but at this city called Serleon, they are overconfident and they find themselves surrounded and there are some Harres that ride up because they see smoke and they're curious, but their horses don't like the zombies so they're like "Well, fuck this." and they leave.  Nikolus is killed in the chaos and that really hits home for Padrus.  They manage to kill all the zombies, but Padrus develops a drinking problem and winds up ruling for ten more years as a super bummed out King who doesn't get out of bed that much.  He dies and leaves the kingdom to his daughter, Narus.  She's a badass.  She is later killed by Madman Titus Tavro, a former zombie hunter turned outlaw.  So that's some stuff.  Rock and roll.
