Temple Carillon
Lord Temple Carillon
Temple Carillon is the elder brother of Geoffrey Carillon. He married Delphina Carillon when they were both in their twenties. He strongly preferred the family estate at Hawk's Breath in Cumbria over the demesne estate of Ytene.
Temple inherited the title and land magic from his father after his parents died on a torpedoed ferry crossing the Channel in 1916. By this point, he was already involved in research for the Ministry, which continued through Bound For Perdition.
Temple and Delphina died within a few days of each other in 1922. Ancient Trust picks up when Geoffrey and Thomas Benton arrive back in Albion just before the funeral, and are further explored in various books in the The Carillon family arc, especially Best Foot Forward and Three Graces.
