Shadow behind the throne

You are the shadow behind your brother's light. The knife in the dark. The nobles know you as the Northern Duke, a powerful noble and the Noble faction see you one of their own, someone who would not spit on the emperor if he was on fire. The reality is otherwise, you are the knife in your brothers hand, working to keep the emperor and the empire safe. Your place in the noble faction is a perfect bait for plotters against the emperor or empire. This is a grimdark scenario, working behind the scene, keeping the empire and emperor safe.
