Alton'banerd Pyreward
Lord Alton'banerd Pyreward née Everbleed
Once a husband of Yasstiniara Frozenheart, Alton'banerd has now settled as part of the family Pyreward. Handsome and charming, he still seems rather reserved to some other men of high ranking. This is, however, very intentional; it is harder to strike someone that works in shadows.
Physical Description
Body Features
Even while approaching his 465th birthday, Alton'banerd is a tall, handsome fellow, with silvery eyes and purple skin. He has a charming smile and his looks are well maintained.
Apparel & Accessories
Unlike some other noblemen, Alton'banerd prefers his fashionable clothing discreet instead of too showy, as he is very used to living in the shadows of older husbands. His clothes tend to be simple with one or two elaborate details, carefully chosen in the way that they fit him and the occasion he wears them.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Alton'banerd was born to Matron T'rissvanitra Everbleed in 3584 AoS. He was a talented and quick witted boy, who did fit in well to the mercantile family.
When Alton'banerd was about 70 years old, his mother gave him a task to help and establish professional contact to the house Frozenheart in Zaetron Derraz, and young lad left to the holy city as his mother's messenger. During his multiple visits, Alton'banerd not only proved his skills, but he also caught the eye of the Matron Frozenheart herself, Yasstiniara Frozenheart. After a few trips back and forth between the two cities, he came back to his mother not with just a business deal, but also with a marriage proposal.
Alton'banerd became Yasstiniara's third husband, and while he enjoyed the matron's affections, he also had some issues settling in to his new home in Xar'zith Kyorl, palace of the Frozenheart family. Yasstiniara's favourite husband, Gholeaun, was the patron of the house, and it was said that only husband Yasstiniara had married out of attraction before Alton'banerd showed up, and this made the patron of the house very competitive and envious of the young newcomer.
This only got worse, when in 3660 AoS, Yasstiniara gave birth to lady Zesstralin, and Alton'banerd was named as the child's father. So far, Gholeaun had not given his wife any daughters. This made the relationship between the two husbands particularly strained. Officially, Zesstralin is counted as Alton'banerd's only child with Yasstiniara, but he is mostlikely biological father to Izil'daerryn as well, however, to keep the piece in the family, Yasstiniara chose to give the credit of the boy to Gholeaun.
Despite the difficulties inside the family unit, Alton'banerd found himself in a place among the family, trying to keep himself out of the patron's way. He did his best to manoeuvre his daughter in a better position in the family while securing his station as an important asset to his wife.
Sadly, in 3948 AoS, Yasstiniara Frozenheart died after period of illness. The whole family was mortified, and the new risen matron Gaussara Frozenheart had to do some hard decisions. It was agreed upon, that after Yasstiniara's funeral, Alton'banerd would be returned to his sister Chelue'thrine Everbleed, as a sign of respect and as a fresh start for Alton'banerd. He spent several years in mourning, before there was sudden interest towards him by the matron of Pyreward family, Beszrima Pyreward. Alton'banerd was later married to Pyrewards, as Beszrima's second husband.
Past years Alton'banerd has attempted to secure his place in Pyreward family, and he has given his new wife a young daughter, Szarae.
Intellectual Characteristics
Besides his apparent wit and charisma, Alton'banerd is well known for his warm sense of humor, likely one of his greatest charming points. He has great eye for detail and knows how to make people feel comfortable around him, and how to use that to his advantage.
He can be a bit distant though this isn't always immediately apparent. His warmth is well calculated, though not to any nefarious means. It is simply the way one is expected to hold themselves in his position.
Social
Family Ties
As the oldest child of T'rissvanitra Everbleed and her husband Vizerimm, Alton'banerd had a great bit of expectation to fill from a very young age. As young lad, he became fairly close with his sister Chelue'thrine, but was married of before his younger siblings were ever born.
He and his first wife Yasstiniara Frozenheart had a rather warm relationship, and he still keeps in touch with his daughter Zesstralin, even though he has since been married off from the family.
Currently, Alton'banerd is married to Beszrima Pyreward, and they have a daughter Szarae.
