Dimian Ree

Dimian Ree was the Baron of Morov in Damara in the mid-to-late 14 century DR. This meant that he was the de facto ruler of the kingdom's largest city, Heliogabalus.

Personality
Dimian was a cruel and ruthless individual, always in search of power and would stop at nothing to achieve it. He claimed to worship Ilmater but this was only a façade to win the allegiance of the Damaran people. While his detractors saw him as little more than a stereotypical politician, they were also wary of underestimating him.

Relationships
Dimian was descended from Feldrin Bloodfeathers, the founder of Damara, and was thus distantly related to the Bloodfeathers royal family. He was a cousin of Tarkos Ree, head of the Tightpurse thieves guild. He was close personal friends with his chief jailer, Yenthiele Sarmagon.

Politically, Dimian's best ally was Baroness Sylvia of Ostel.

History
In the Bloodstone Wars of 1359 DR, Dimian refused to support the army of the Barony of Bloodstone against Zhengyi, believing it a suicidal effort. However, Gareth Dragonsbane managed to truly defeat the Witch-King, gaining immense support. Dimian worked very hard to regain his support after that move, and soon was the principal claimant to the Damaran throne alongside Gareth Dragonsbane. In order to gain more support, Dimian secretly approached both Queen Sambryl of Impiltur and the Grandfather of Assassins.

Although he lost the kingship of Damara to Gareth, Dimian remained a powerful and defiant member of the Damaran ruling class through the 1360s DR. He continued to have a relationship with Timoshenko of the Citadel of Assassins and was rumored to be carefully watching for an opportunity to supplant the king. In 1368 DR, he butted heads with King Gareth's when Spysong captured a number of the assassins in Heliogabalus and began executing them, all without informing Dimian.
