Niall of the Nine Hostages

The current king of Vigtonn, Niall Ubrokin, also called Niall of the Nine Hostages, is a good and lawful man who nonetheless thinks that humanity is the last great race on the planet.

Ascension
Due to rulership of Vigtonn being hereditary, it is assumed that he carries the blood of Hel with him, however, it may just be the case that the royal family took their ancestral name from the legend, rather than being relatives of the legend itself. This kind of conjecture is allowed in the royal courts, which lends credibility to the claim of the royal family's ancesty claim, but of course it may also be the case that no records actually exist, and the royal family knows this, thus allowing for court scribes and researchers to continue hunting for something that never existed at all.

Origin of the epitaph
During his mandatory days in the army he was once sent to quell a group of gnolls that had been raiding human villages for treasure and such like. A small strike force, headed by Niall himself, was sent into their nearby caves to retrieve those they had taken. On entry into the cave systems Niall and his squad were ambushed and only Niall survived, and it is said that from there he went on to slay the rest of the gnolls and rescue those who had been recently taken.
