Liam Banfield

Having lived a miserable life being virtuous, Liam decides to be evil in this next life. However, a combination of his long-term plans to strengthen and develop his fiefdom, comparison against the often corrupt and indolent nobility of the Empire, and comedic happenstance, he ends up looking like a benevolent and just ruler. Even his desire for gold looks odd as it has relatively low monetary value in the new world compared to metals like mithril and adamantium.
