Overview
Aidan Dreadmoore was the middle son of House Dreadmoore, born in 19 BDP. Like Morton, he was trained as a warlock in the family’s vitality-draining and pox-giving arts. As a child, he was told his parents died in a tragic traveling accident, though in truth his father had been sacrificed by the old Baron Dreadmoore and his mother’s fate remains unknown. Aidan independently discovered the Baron’s use of stolen Morrivar magic and sabotaged the curse at the heart of the rite, not knowing Morton planned to coopt the same magic. The collision of their separate plans killed Morton and broke or killed the Baron, leaving Aidan to rule House Dreadmoore. He later became worgen-cursed and made it his mission to find a true cure. His occultic mononym is Dresmorsius, with the first “s” silent.

Timeline
- Born as the second son of House Dreadmoore in 19 BDP.
- Told his parents died in a tragic traveling accident in 12 BDP; his mother’s true fate remains unknown.
- Discovered the Baron’s sacrificial rite in 18 ADP and sabotaged the Morrivar curse at its heart.
- Morton unknowingly tried to coopt the sabotaged working; Morton died, the Baron died or was broken, and Aidan inherited the house.
- Ruled House Dreadmoore in Morton’s absence from 18 ADP to 25 ADP.
- Was initially relieved when Morton returned as Forsaken, because he believed his own actions killed his brother.
- Lived with Morton on the polite edges of Gilnean society from 26 ADP to 28 ADP.
- The Forsaken attacked Gilneas in 28 ADP; Morton’s public defense worsened House Dreadmoore’s reputation.
- After the fall of Gilneas, Aidan and House Dreadmoore did not leave with the Gilnean exodus.
- After Gilneas was restored and the worgen were freed from the animal but not the curse, Aidan dedicated himself to finding a true cure.
- Morton’s later return after the War Against the Jailer caused Aidan’s old relief to sour further into exhaustion and resentment.
