Duke Carles de Fortern

Duke Carles de Fortern (a.k.a. "l'Umble")

My tale is done. It matters not by whom or why it was cut.

Carles about his life.

Elder brother of Jean IV "le Hardi" de Fortern, ruling over his very own Dukedom in the peaceful northernmost territories of the Crescent Basin. A peaceful and lonely man most often refered to as "Carles l'Umble". He has lost all claim to the throne and simply awaits death in whatever form it may come. Despite this, he governs his people fairly and diligently.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Firstborn son of Géraud I "le Fol" de Fortern and allegedly of his wife Reine-Mère Madeleine de Fortern. The quiet type, Carles spent most of his childhood studying indoors in order to better rule his future realm. Meanwhile his younger brother went to study chivalry as well as matters of war and survival intensely.
Despite their differences, the siblings got along just fine.
