"If anyone is to do any slaying, it will be me."

Lord Prosper de Montfort is an Orlesian noble belonging to the Monfort Family of Orlais.

Background
Prosper is a high-ranking nobleman in Orlais, inheritor to the dynasty of Ser Gaston de Montfort, who rose to prominence during the Fourth Blight. He is a close personal friend of Empress Celene I. He has a son, Cyril.

He also appears to be fluent in the Qunari language.
