Nero questions! 10, 14, 16, 24?
10. How do they feel about becoming a Rogue Trader? How easily do they take to being the head of the von Valancius dynasty?
Nero is used to being a leader, he has experience from 10 years of commanding his void rats. He just feels uncomfortable being treated like a noble. At first, he was shocked to find that there were almost no consequences for his questionable actions. He learns quickly, but he still sometimes behaves barbarically and has no manners.
14. Who was the most important person in their life prior to becoming a Rogue Trader? Is that person still in their life now?
Draka, a woman from Death World. She was Nero’s right hand when he was the Crime Lord. Tall, muscular, loyal and fond of pretty ladies. She currently runs the Crime Lord’s affairs in the Calixis Sector, filling in for Nero. So yeah, they are still in touch and drinking together when she visits Koronus Expanse! (she’s still in concept art and my docs files, but I’m sure I’ll draw them together some day :>)
16. What is their Archetype?
Warrior – Assassin – Unsanctioned Psyker (biomancer)
24. Do they place value in how their protectorate sees them? Does this sway their decisions at all?
Nero doesn’t care if his protectorate considers him a xenophile, a pirate, a heretic, or unworthy the Warrant. As long as his subjects obey him and don’t plot his assassination, he doesn’t care what they think of him, fear him or adore. He can be a ruthless tyrant and sometimes a compassionate leader to his subjects, depending on what he wants to achieve with them.
Thank you so much for your questions! 💜💜💜
