The Lord Low Troll (Madron)

The Lord Low Troll was orginally just Madron of the Manjura Clan from the region at the head of the River Jura.

Madron was one of two identical twins, the other being Mida, however during their birth there were complications with Midah's birth leading to the death of their mother and Midah's brain damage. The tragedy was made complete because all the healing potion that day had been used up on the elder brother Kedrel.

At the funeral of his father, whose death he had engineered, Madron arranged for Kedrel's assassination by a doppelgänger assassin and then he killed the assassin.

This lead to Madron being elected to leader of his family.

Madron then secretly married Geerol who was of the shamed Ghetto clan, after she revealed that she was pregnant. Madron's first born was a daughter Brameana.

Madron had his eyes on the job of clan leader and when the emperor of the trolls was dying and they all assembled at Karam Tag Chou, the home of the emperors, he struck at the clan leader. Madron conspired with another member of the Manjura clan and a member of the Delethon clan to kill the Clan leader of the Delethon and frame the Clan Leader of the Manjura.

The deception worked and the Clan Leader of the Manjura was executed. Madron secretly supplied a cure to the emperor and was elected the New Clan Chief of the Manjura and his fellow Manjura troll became Troll at arms

However there was a heavy price, as Madron's rise to power was not as firm as he would like, and his new deputy, the Troll at Arms pointed out, that they would never follow his leadership if they knew he had as a wife, a member of the Ghetto Clan.

Madron was advised to have both his wife and daughter secretly murdered, but because of his love for them, sent them away into exile to the Far Islands.

This lead to Madron becoming embittered and at odds with his Troll at Arms and later arranged his murder.

Madron moved to the city on the Central plains where he built his power base and gained the contract for enforcing law and order.

Madron took a consort as according to consort and she gave birth to a son she called Padow, but was later renamed The Prince Low Troll

At the same time the emperor finally died, and when the clans assembled for his funeral near the Central City, Madron once again struck and forced the favoured to succeed him to vote for Madron to become leader of all trolls.

Madron, however eschewed the title of Emperor as that would mean leaving his favoured Central City for the Citadel, in stead he took the title of Lord Low Troll.

As Lord Low Troll, he gained a reputation of a brutal tyrant, which he used to keep the warring races in check and thus keep the peace.

Madron later went on to prosecute The Spirit of True Love, Lachesis and Graeme Andrews, but the Griffin judge threw outh the charges against Graeme Andrews, The Spirit of True Love allegedly committed suicide just before the verdict and Lachesis aquitted on a technicality.

This indirectly led to a civil war, where it was thought that Madron was killed at the beginning, but secretly he had been using his twin brother Midah as a stand in, and it was he who was slain.

Madron then became a hermit living in the Waylong mountains, with only his faithful kobol retainer Meetal knowing the truth.

Madron had a personal collection of magic artefacts, which he later used when he did a deal with representatives from Earth to defeat his his estranged daughter and her drow lover who had captured Earth, in order to seize power.
