Efraim DeLaire
Knight Efraim DeLaire
Efraim DeLaire used to be a knight in the service of the old Count. When the count died he saw the countess go into a manic state of paranoia and decided to not swear fealty to her, but rather wait until her son becomes count. He considers her a caretaker until the count is of legal age and not a full blown countess with the right to rule.
The main issue was that the land he lives on belong to the countess and she wanted it back. She wanted to give it to a knight who swore fealty to her and which she could trust. Efraim thought it was an affront to his honour and refused to acknowledge her order. But he did fulfill all his duties to her, as a good subject and land holder. When the knight Iseaux Etoille and her friend swore by her honour him that the Countess was not mad, he decided to swear a personal oath to the Countess. And she honoured him by granting him the estate as his own land.
On the land he has a small fortified manor and four men (farmers/ servants) with their families. He trains them in how to handle the axe as a weapon. He also have a page/ squire which he is training. Part of the Delaire estate is the village Lámbra consisting of approximatly 70 individuals.
