Jorg Ancrath
Character from Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
A prince who fell into a thorn bush at nine and came out a monster — who burned villages at fourteen, conquered kingdoms at eighteen, and saved the world at twenty by refusing to let anyone else destroy it first.
Also known as: Prince of Thorns, King of Thorns, Emperor of Thorns, The Prince, King Jorg
What They Know
- At nine, watched his mother and brother William die in a briar patch during Count Renar's attack — the thorns scarred his arms and his psyche permanently
- Led the road brothers from age fourteen — a band of criminals who followed a child because the child was more dangerous than any of them
- The dream-mage Sageous had been suppressing his will for years — when Jorg broke free, the accumulated rage drove his most destructive acts
- Discovered the world is post-apocalyptic Earth — 'Builders' are our civilization, 'magic' is radiation and remnant technology, the Hundred Kingdoms are feudal Europe rebuilt on nuclear ruins
- Can see and command the dead (necromancy), manipulate fire, and interface with Builder technology through the data-space — the line between magic and science is deliberately blurred
- Won the Empire at the Congress of Lords in Vyene — united the Hundred Kingdoms through a combination of conquest, politics, and the threat of the Dead King's army
- Married Miana of the Horse Coast — began as political convenience, became genuine love, had a son
- His father King Olidan chose politics over avenging his family — Jorg's relationship with his father is defined by that original betrayal of inaction
