This is the first character concept in a personal world-building project, originally inspired by the prompts of Funguary 2022.

Hailing from Silent Hollow, Copro Mentara is the head of the Satrophic Enclave. The Mentara household have always been the leaders of the faction, as they began the town around a single inn. They're technically "in power," though moreso as a community leader than a monarchy. Anyone could run against them at any time, but nobody feels the need, or wants to. Copro also continues the family (and by proxy, the faction's) tradition of being a skilled assassin for hire, though these days he tends to use his skills to protect what remains of the Enclave, after it was left mostly in ruins years ago by the Mycellian Empire. It's especially difficult for Copro to perform as an assassin in recent years, given his position on the Grand Mire council, though he doesn't mind that his people--his family--are kept generally safe because of it.
