 ===Origins===
-Aloisius Horatio Treadwell, now aged seventy-one years, was the third child of [[Benjamin Lucas Octavius Augustine Treadwell|Octavius]] and [[Treadwells_(Family)#Marian Treadwell|Marian]] Treadwell, born in 145 [[Anno_Regalis|AR]] in [[Westenford]], [[Amasynia]].  His youth was spent pursuing a potential career as a traveling actor, until a rehearsal for ''[[The Most Lamentable Tragedy of Alfred and Genevieve]]'' saw him crashing through rotten floorboards and breaking his left leg.  After recuperating, he resumed the lead role of the play, achieving some measure of fame for his performance.  That fame, though, had to be set aside on the death of his father from a heart attack in the field behind the Treadwell home.  As Aloisius' elder brother [[Langley Treadwell|Langley]] was away serving as a traveling circuit judge, this left the younger male Treadwell to take the father's seat on the [[Westenford Ruling Council]].  This move was both unprecedented and initially unwanted by those on the [[Westenford Ruling Council|Council]]; however, during his first day on the [[Westenford Ruling Council|Council]], Aloisius had not only forced his way into its affairs but had also seen the Chief Magistrate ousted and taken the position for himself, a seat he would hold actively until his arrival in [[Myrken Wood]] at age fifty-eight, when he passed leadership as Acting Chief Magistrate to one [[Jonathan M. Lincoln]] while Treadwell took on an inactive status without permanently giving up his claim to the position.

 Easily the most unusual occurrence in Treadwell's life is his taking the leadership of the [[Church of Tubbius]], a faith devoted to gluttony and natural growth that is spread across Amasynia and Myrken Wood.  The acceptance of this position led Treadwell to the revelation that there is much more to himself than he first thought: the old man is, in truth, the incarnation of their deity, [[Tubbius]], a harvest god and one of the forms of a divine being known simply as [[The Glutton]].  Very few close friends or family are the only ones outside the faith accept this with any seriousness; to that effect, nearly all of Myrken Wood simply view Treadwell's devotion to the Church as one more of his odd, quirky pursuits.  Even Treadwell's wife, [[Alice Treadwell|Alice]], is hesitant to believe the possibility of such.  Therefore, Treadwell makes no efforts to display any divine power or magic, and he never discusses it outside of his meetings at the Church.  It is better he be thought a little senile or unusual, after all, than to face more serious concerns brought about by professing such to the masses.
-In a more mundane existence, Treadwell balances his time on the Council with his ownership of [[Tready's Toys]], which is his toyshop in the center of the market square near the town gallows platform.  Until the [[Church of Tubbius|Tubbians]] left town recently at his request to avoid their potential persecution by Crown believers of the [[One True Faith]], he paid weekly attention to the [[Church of Tubbius|Church]] as its unquestioned, titular head.

 ==Description==
-Treadwell stands 5' 4" most of the time, stooped with age, overly excessive weight, and an old injury to his left leg.  He favors garish colors for his usual robes, hats, and scarves, only occasionally changing into darker, more somber garments for serious, official business.  In addition, Aloisius can usually be found enjoying his pipe when he is able.  His demeanor is normally warm and merry, although when crossed or when forced into political schemes, he can easily slip into the more sinister self-sufficiency of his youth.  Treadwell's outward appearance is a simple image of an old man perhaps a little sillier than he ought to be, a contradiction to the deeper truth of the matter.

 ===The Broken Dagger===
-Treadwell's first adult appearance in Myrken Wood (having been there once as an infant) was on a clandestine, secretive, and drunken intrusion into an illegal pit-fighting ring attended by then-governor [[Gad Phuri]].  [[Gad Phuri|Phuri]]'s shrewdness nearly saw an end to Treadwell that night; however, as fate would have it, Treadwell would survive the [[Governor]], finding [[Gad Phuri|Gad]] and his wife Hebecka both deceased in their home.  Rather than risk the damage to his own reputation and a likely jail sentence as a possible murderer, the aged actor managed something extraordinary.  Having a suitably strong resemblance to the deceased [[Governor]], he used his acting prowess to impersonate the dead man for some time, ruling [[Myrken Wood]] as [[Governor]] until discovered, outed, briefly jailed, and ultimately allowed to take a position on the [[Judiciary Council|Council]] as the town's [[Councilor for Revenue and Finance|tax collector]], a position he has ultimately held despite elections in the following years.  Since then, he has maintained his primary residence in town, with a mansion estate for his family, consisting of himself, [[Alice Treadwell|his wife]], [[Langley Treadwell|his elder brother]], [[Elizia Treadwell|his elder sister]], nine of his ten children (all age 12 or less), and the house staff.  He keeps up payments on a room at the Broken Dagger (as well as has his own red, overstuffed couch and a suitably strong, custom barstool in the main room), in case lodging there over night becomes necessary at any point.

-Since his arrival, Treadwell has seemingly always been loosely involved with many events but never directly the cause or the solution.  He tends to stay on the outskirts of affairs, keeping largely to himself and his own desires.  It is fairly common knowledge in character that nothing really seems to affect him--that he always seems to come out reasonably well despite the gravest of situations.  However, of particular note in his most recent time in Myrken Wood is his reacquisition of the Governor's seat; during [[The_Red-and-Gold_Summer_(Plot)|The Red and Gold Summer]], Aloisius was one of the few town leaders still in a proper leadership role, since some had been captured, others had been brainwashed, and others were simply inactive.  Therefore, with the help of [[Agnieszka Kaczmarek]], he helped oversee the efforts to retake control of the town.  After the so-called "Black Hour" and the restoration of [[Glenn Burnie]] to power, he humbly stepped out of the Acting Governor's role and back into his Council seat.  Treadwell's latest involvement in Myrken Wood has had him taking the leadership of the province again, this time as its [[Lord Steward]] of its interim, transition government due to royal dictate.
