Baronet Felson Zaspar Undrite
He is a competent administrator, which helped when he approached Count Sharpe to get his nobility. He has great business acumen, and started out as an accountant doing the books for several different trading guilds. Before that, he had served in the army as a logistics officer for a half dozen years. He is on his third wife; the first ended in a horse riding accident; the second in a divorce. His current wife’s name is Bella (daughter of Helena Vargame), and he has no living children. His first wife died before she could bear him any children, and the second one was barren (that was NOT the reason he divorced her, though). Bella is currently pregnant for the fourth time; the first three attempts ended in miscarriage. They are hopeful the fourth time will be the charm.
His lands are bordered by the lands of Vargame, Woodhome, Walters, Ciryandil, and Far-Thrower, and almost Kiriani (they share a corner, rather than a border).
Physical Description
Decent, but he starting to get a little chubby. Relatively strong, and has above average dexterity.
On the slightly short side, with a decent amount of muscle and a little bit of extra weight around his middle.
Brown eyes, sandy hair, worn in a mullet. He is an attractive man, and the mullet somehow works for him. He has a scar under his left eye, the result of a bar room brawl that happened in his military years.
Tends to dress fashionably, in a timeless fashion with an eye to business. He doesn't dress in the foppish, extravagant style that some of the nobility like to be seen in.
Mental characteristics
As a young man, Felson joined the Imperial Army, where he served for six years, primarily as a logistics officer. After leaving the army, he worked for various trading guilds as an accountant.
He has been married three times. His first wife died from complications due to a horse riding accident. Unfortunately, she died before they had any children. His second wife was barren, and their lack of success having children was a minor contributing factor to their eventual divorce. Both were willing to adopt, and had made initial plans to do so, but their other relationship issues were too great to overcome, and they divorced. His third and current wife, Bella, is the daughter of Helena Vargame. She is currently pregnant, and about four months into the pregnancy. There have been three other pregnancies, but they each ended in miscarriages. There are times when Felson believes he is cursed, but as this pregnancy has lasted longer than the others, he is hopeful that he will finally have a child.
Felson is from a middle class family, who were able to afford a tutor for him when he was young. He was taught literacy and math, a bit of history, and some literature and philosophy. The military taught him soldiering and logistics, along with discipline and procedure.

Personality Characteristics
Wants what's best for his family, the County, the Duchy/Province, and the Empire as a whole. He is patriotic, but not obnoxiously so. What's more, he puts his money where his mouth is, unlike several other nobles he could name. Hates hypocrisy.

He has 15 bannermen as vassals.
Married to Bella Vargame, the daughter of Baroness Helena Vargame.
Devout worshipper of the gods, but tends to favor Belisama, in a "creation of wealth" sort of way. He also favors the god of commerce Lugus.

His only other hobby is reading histories and whatever literature he can get his hands on.
Neighboring Baroness (Important)
Towards Baronet Felson Undrite
Neighboring Baronet (Important)
Towards Baroness Clematis Woodhome
History
Clematis was barely friendly with Baron Mangora, so when his uprising was unsuccessful and he lost his life, land, and titles, she didn't feel badly about it. Baronet Felson Undrite was a marked improvement, in her opinion. Being a purchased title, she still has some reservations, as she isn't immune to classist thinking.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both are nobility, even if Undrite is more akin to nouveau riche. He admires her gardens, although he isn't really interested in doing gardening himself. He does wish she would allow hunting on her property, though, as he has seen several animals there that he would find challenging to hunt.

Towards Baron Cetus "The Golden Man"
Acquaintance (Trivial)
Towards Baronet Felson Undrite
History
Undrite only met Cetus after he had purchased his rank. Cetus is always polite, although he thinks that purchased ranks are "lesser" noblilty. Cetus does realize that Undrite is capable, and competent. But their relationship is businesslike at best.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
None, really.
Very wealthy, much of it self-made via his trading company, but some comes from the taxes of his subjects in his barony.
