| — Advice to a Patriarch, Baron Bresling | ||
Baron Bresling was a Baron in the Thief World. He is the only 'canon' Baron to have been named in the Thief lexicon.[1]
It is possible that he was the current Baron at the time of Thief: Deadly Shadows, or a Past Baron.
It is unknown which 'Patriarch' that Bresling spoke to. It could be inferred to be the Rutherford family or a king above him (very little of the world beyond The City has been seen or heard of).
