House Pryde

Overview
The patriarch of House Pryde was born a nameless slave to a man named “Joseph Pryde” when the slave discovered his own magical powers he killed his master, but not before using his powers to take control over the family's wealth and connections. The slave would then go on to take the man's family name, calling himself “Victor Pryde”, he would move to Scuttleford and start his empire.

While in Scuttleford, Victor began selling weapons to the highest bidder for years. The wealth he was able to accumulate not to mention his notoriety eventually led to House Pryde becoming recognized worldwide.

Victor's descendants would go on to continue his business for many years until Christopher Pryde came into power.
