Adrik of Monsberg is The Lord of Monsberg and formerly, Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate.

Early Life and Education
Adrik was born on The 178th Sun, 1212 YS to Alexandar of Monsberg and Cecilia of Scorcross. The second son of the family, Adrik idolized his brother, aspiring to be as strong as his big brother. Together they would be seen sprinting through the halls of Monsberg Castle or leaping from the tower to be caught by a spell. While Percival was blessed with a strong body and tactical brain, Adrik's talents were in diplomacy and magecraft. He would follow his brother to study at the Holy University of Solum, earning a degree in magecraft. During his time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, like Eridanion and Arivan. In his final year, Adrik created a spell so powerful, he was forbidden from ever casting it. The Archmagus Yuvira sealed it within a staff and had it locked in the Scorian Vaults. It is unknown what this spell even did, but it must have had incredible destructive power to have had the Archmagus seal it away for the stability of the Union.

Adrik met Kellerin the Sailor, then just Kellerin of Arahall on the first day of classes, sharing a class in architecture. They became fast friends and would pursue a brief relationship towards the end of their degrees, but it ended on poor terms due to each's respective royal duties.

Life after Graduation
Adrik's skill in magecraft was so great that the Archmagus herself offered to tutor him after his graduation, but he declined, stating that his duty was to Monsberg.

With his brother stationed at the remote Solum's Gate, Adrik became the Grand Duchy's most prominent diplomat. Using his connections from his time in Solum, he brokered deals and signed treaties across the Southern Union, from Lightfall to Bracketton.

Coronations
In 1242, returning from a diplomatic trip from Barnard's Point, Adrik found his father had passed away while he had been sailing back. He immediately inherited his brother's former title as Lord-Protector.

In 1264, after Percival's disappearance, Adrik ascended the Lordship of Monsberg.

Personal Life
Due to his stationing out in Solum's Gate, Adrik is unmarried. He has one daughter named Illya, who up until recently had been under the care of her uncle in the capital.

Adrik was briefly in a relationship with The Lady Kellerin of Arahall during their youth, and are currently on good terms with each other having reconciled during a diplomatic visit in 1238 YS.
