Arghun
The eldest son built his whole life on knowing things before anyone else. The throne went to the brother who was off flying while he schemed.
Arghun is the firstborn of the khagan Urus and the spymaster of the Southern Continent, in Tower of Dawn — the Prince of Spies, 'the oily one,' who traded in information and lost the only game he actually cared about.
