Reginald of Thornwick

Baron of Thornwick

Baron Reginald Thornwick (58) Title: Baron of Thornwick Appearance: Broad-shouldered and barrel-chested, even in late middle age. His hair is iron-grey, cropped short; his face is weathered from decades of border patrols, with a prominent scar across his left cheek (from a Sellani raider's cutlass). He dresses simply—wool and leather, not silk—and carries no visible weapon, though his hands are always callused. Personality: Proud, calculating, and deeply resentful of perceived slights. He is a military man who values strength above all else. He disdains the current king as weak, disdains you as an unblooded upstart (forgetting your dragon), and disdains Lacheana as a worthless backwater—except for its strategic position. In truth, he does not care about Lacheana's soil or salt. He cares about control: the territory sits between Thornwick and Westmere, and whoever holds it holds a knife to the trade routes. Background: Baron Reginald inherited Thornwick at twenty-five, after his father died in a border skirmish. He has spent three decades fortifying his barony, building its army, and quietly expanding his influence. He sees your elevation as a direct challenge, since obtaining it for himself could advance him to the rank of Count. He now backs Roderick as a proxy, denying involvement while funding the challenge. Secret Motivations: He is grooming his daughter Elara to make a powerful match. Having her seduce and marry you (if Roderick fails) would also suit him—absorbing Lacheana through marriage rather than conquest. He plays all sides. Relationship to You: Distant, wary, and dangerous. He has not yet met you, but he watches. Everything you do in Lacheana is being reported to him.
