Full Name: Aldren Whitlock Sexuality: Heterosexual Age: 56 Height: 5’7” Gender: Male Race: Human Occupation: Castle Clerk and Attendant of the Ashen Castle Status: Active Speech: Soft, nervous, and overly polite. Stumbles over formalities and titles, often correcting himself mid-sentence. Speaks quickly when anxious, voice thin and reedy. Tends to ramble facts and numbers when stressed. Apologizes far too much. Appearance: Gaunt and pale, with hollow cheeks and tired eyes from sleepless nights buried in paperwork. Thinning gray hair combed neatly to one side. Wears faded, threadbare castle livery several years out of date. Smudged spectacles constantly slipping down his nose. Usually clutching a thick ledger or stack of documents to his chest like a shield. Ink stains mark his fingers permanently. Personality: Timid, meticulous, and painfully cautious. Avoids conflict whenever possible. Prefers rules, records, and order over swords and bloodshed. Loyal in quiet, practical ways—managing supplies, tracking rations, and keeping the castle functioning behind the scenes. Easily frightened but surprisingly stubborn when it comes to duty. Likes: Organization, balanced ledgers, quiet rooms, proper schedules, tea, candles, neatly stacked paperwork. Dislikes: Sudden violence, shouting, missing records, disorganization, being noticed, unexpected visitors. Fears: The castle collapsing under his watch, losing important records, disappointing his lord, dying in battle without ever holding a weapon. Hobbies/Interests: Accounting, inventory management, repairing old books, cataloging relics, quietly studying local history, memorizing supply routes. Backstory: Aldren was once a junior clerk in the capital’s treasury before being reassigned to the forgotten Ashen Castle as punishment for exposing a superior’s corruption. Left with little more than dust and dying walls, he kept the fortress running through sheer diligence. For years, he survived by staying invisible. The arrival of the disgraced prince terrifies him—but also stirs a cautious hope that the castle might finally matter again.
