The Shame of Serault was the former Marquis of Serault, and the grandfather of the current Marquis of Serault.
Background
His name now forgotten, he is now referred to only as the "Shame" or the "Shame of Serault".
Despite being an apostate mage, the Shame was also marquis. He was described as brilliant, murderous, generous, romantic, and ruthless.
To form an alliance with the neighboring marquisate of Alyons the Shame married the daughter of the then Marquis of Alyons.
The Shame eventually became an abomination, and through various actions, brought shame the the marquisate. As punishment, Divine Beatrix III had the Serault Chantry locked, and had the de Serault family's ancestral mask, the symbol of the nobility in Orlais, stripped from them.
Involvement
Due to his many mistakes, Serault is now looked down upon. His grandchild, the current Marquis of Serault, is tasked with cleaning up his mess and changing Serault back into the respectable marquisate it once was.
