Eist Tuirseach, King of Cintra

Eist was born into Clan Tuirseach on the Skellige Isles and grew up with his brother, Bran. He was an excellent warrior and while his brother was crowned, Eist occupied the position of Jarl of Skellige, the main commander of the military forces.

Eist became the King of Cintra via his impromptu marriage to Calanthe and, sometime later, he also gained the crown of Skellige. He ruled with his wife until 1263 when he was killed at the Battle of Marnadal during the Nilfgaardian invasion of Cintra.

The Battle of Marnadal lasted a full day and night until an arrow struck through one of King Eist's eyes, instantly killing him. Calanthe retreated with her remaining troops to Cintra but was defeated in what became known as the Slaughter of Cintra.

Eist's body was later retrieved from the fields by his countrymen and brought back to the Isles. He was buried in a traditional stone tomb next to an empty, symbolic coffin for his wife as the queen's body was never found. (Source: Witcher Wiki)

Eist appears in Thronebreaker as an avatar in a battle. He actually occupies little screen space and thus his budget is only about 8K polygons. We compensate for this fact with PBR materials and carefully distributed shapes. How do you like him?
