Martin de Ildan de Suluzzo is received as a reward for completing Chapter 3 of the Broken Lords faction quest. He is Level 3 when received, and his base attributes reflect that, but do not include bonuses from capacities or equipment. It should be noted that De Suluzzo is lost at the end of Chapter 5 of the Broken Lords quest, so it is recommended to not equip him with any expensive equipment.
The story of the Broken Lords has a sad parallel in the story of the de Suluzzo family. Once a prosperous and powerful clan with rich holdings in both town and country, the decline of their physical form led to increased interest in their past, their family, and the "good old days". Commissioning ever more impressive artworks glorifying their past while they wrote and read family histories, in time their number and wealth dwindled as their bodies faded to Dust.
Martin, the youngest de Suluzzo -- and perhaps the last -- gained a driving obsession to restore his family and rebuild his nation. The family fascination with the past manifested itself in the exploration of ruins, and one day Martin returned with his servants from a weeks-long journey with a strange artifact in his possession -- and a wild look in his eyes. Since then his energy and charisma have burned like a star, and many see him as a future emperor
