Although not a talented ruler, he | Agares Blight was a moderate king who, upon rising to the [[Highland Kingdom|Highland]] throne after the passing of his father, [[Robert Blight|Robert]], sued for peace during the First Jowston-Highland War. Although not a talented ruler, he was a hopeful pacifist who dislike combat and was able to maintain an uneasy peace with the [[City-State of Jowston]]. This peace agreement was said to have been his highest achievement. However, such policies led to fierce opposition from within the military and he would later reluctantly entrust the command of the military to his son, [[Luca Blight|Luca]] to reduce the dissatisfaction of the army, although the prince was not necessarily any more talented in that area than Agares. The peaceful ruler would devote his time to political affairs following this move. | ||
Some years after taking the throne, the Blight royal caravan was attacked by a group of bandits. There, Agares abandoned his wife, [[Sara Blight|Sara]], and his then-eleven year old son Luca. Although later rescued by the [[Highland Army]], Luca would always hold his father responsible for the events and their repercussions, including the madness and eventual death of Sara. | Some years after taking the throne, the Blight royal caravan was attacked by a group of bandits.
