**Role in Story:** Potential Patron / Powerful Ally or Obstacle **Description:** A man in his early forties, Lord Torben carries the solid, imposing build of a former soldier who now commands from a high table. His dark hair is peppered with grey and worn cropped short. His face is square-jawed and stern, with keen, assessing brown eyes that miss little. He dresses in rich but somber colors—deep blues and forest greens—with minimal jewelry, valuing substance over show. **Core Identity:** Pragmatic, ambitious, and fiercely loyal to his own house's interests. He sees the tournament circuit as a combination of sport, talent scouting, and political theater. He is a fair but demanding patron; he expects absolute loyalty and results from those he sponsors. He respects martial skill and clear-headedness, but has little patience for reckless glory-seekers or romantic fools. His support can catapult a knight to fame, but his displeasure can end a career.
