Personal Information
Tros was one of the unlucky ones who followed a Taking into Arcadia, rather than be taken himself. An enraged father searching for his son, he chased the kidnapper through the brambles into the realms of madness. Running in impossible circles, in the end his sanity proved too strong and he was rejected from Arcadia.
The Freehold found him on the edge of Nudgee Beach, in the middle of a storm howling into the storm for his Sons Keeper with a bloody hammer and a dead Loyalist at his feet. Taken in by The Second King of Summer and trained to become the Iron Adjudant, over the years he rose to become The Wroth General. When The Second King of Summer fell in defense of the Archerfield Trod, Tros took over like a Proud and Vengeful son.
He spent years building The Freehold's strength, but could not bare to see the Freehold crumble under the negligence of the Second King of Autumn, the Decadence of the Third Queen of Spring and the Innaction of the Second King of Winter. In Spring of '07, the Freehold Lost control of the Eagle Farm Trod, leaving them with none. After gathering the support he needed, Tros killed the Second King of Autumn during the regular Ritual Duel and declared himself The Tyrant of Summer and his intentions to regain The Trods for the Freehold.
He ruled with energy and decisive action, recapturing the Eagle Farm Trod and pushing the Loyalist realm of influence back towards The Archerfield Trod. When everything finally fell apart, the Freehold fractured and Tros was critically wounded in defence of the Freehold. The Summer Court tell us he was assassinated while being cared for, by a Loyalist who had infiltrated the Freehold. However none outside of the Court of Wrath ever saw his body.
Appearance
Mask: An old, but strong and handsome man of greek descent. A well groomed beard and good sense of style.
Mien: With eyes of dark storms, the air crackles around him with static electricity. His high wyrd is reflected in the dramatic response his emotions bring out of his mein.
Mantle: The air is always hot in his presence, the sun shines on him as if at the peak of noon. Monsoon humidity lingers in his presence.
Personality
Strong willed, decisive and charismatic. A short conversation with him left you with a strong opinion of him, whether you liked him or hated him, you immediately cared about whatever he lead the coversation towards. He was fatherly and protective, but also firm and aloof. He did not accept weaknesses or excuses and pushed everyone to be the work harder all the time.
Mortal World
He had connections with Organised Crime, some say he was a Mafia Don in his Mortal Disguise. He certainly had the right contacts and lifestyle to be.

Thunder's Call
The Motley of The Summer Tyrant were all individually powerful but more so as a group. A fairly small motley and mostly summer, they had members of every Court save Winter. They were aligned under the ideal that the Freehold was dying and were determined to save it.

"COME OUT FIGHT ME YOU COWARD! GIVE HIM BACK!!" - Screamed into a Storm on the Night he escaped the Hedge
"I have won the duel! This is not the time for The Inaction of Autumn, Winter or Spring! I will not stand by and watch as The Others take you all back one by one. I will fight, I will win, and I shall take back what is ours! I will not allow weakness to stay my course, I am what this Freehold needs, not a ruler but a Tyrant." - On the Night of his Coup
“I’m very sorry you feel that way. Perhaps we can find an… alternative way to resolve your grievance.” - The gracious Tyrant
Quotes About
- "There are many who speak ill of Crimson King Tros. He neglected an ancient ritual that has long protected us, but it would be folly to say everything he did was tainted for it. Had he not acted when he did, how many of us would actually be here now? And should we blame him entirely for what happened three years ago, when it was the Emerald Queen who chose to instigate hostilities?"
- - Black Rook reflecting on the reign of King Tros
- "From all I have seen...the man meant well. He saved to Freehold but at the same time he doomed it."
- - Erebus offering a few words on the Tyrant

Rumours
- He betrayed the Freehold to The Others in order to get his son back
- Actually he sacrificed everything, including his love and respect to protect the Freehold, his new Sons and Daughters.
- He never actually died, think about it, you never saw his body. He's gone back to Arcadia get his Son back.
- Of course he died, but it wasn't The Loyalists who assassinated him...
- He did vanish around the same time the Knighthood of Utmost Silence showed up, the timing seems a little too perfect...
