Pytor rose to fame for his excellent musical skills. He composed the Stygian Suite, a piece that moved people to tears. At an unknown point, Pytor befriended and mentored Madam Florine, helping her launch her career as a dance instructor and choreographer.[1]
Pytor had a position at the Royal Theater in Rifthold, and would hold performances with his orchestra regularly. After the massacre of slaves at the slave camps Endovier and Calaculla, Pytor made an arrangement with his orchestra and, at a performance for the elite of Adarlan, went out on stage all dressed in black for mourning and performed the songs of various conquered territories, including Eyllwe, Fenharrow and Melisande, as a tribute to those who died. Once the performance was over, Pytor, along with his orchestra, gave the audience a long look and walked off the stage without saying anything. The next morning, the Theater was shut down and Pytor and his orchestra disappeared, killed by the King of Adarlan for their defiance.[2]
