Isobel Waverend
Queen Isobel Waverend
Queen Isobel Waverend was 41 years old at the time of her murder via poisoning. Her death led the king into a spiral of paranoia that resulted in negative things aplenty for the civilians of the kingdom. She was average height and weight for a human and had long, red hair.
History(note: may include minor metagame information to the current players of the campaign):
Queen Isobel was originally from Rocca, a small town on the western side of the Stormtide Bay. She was the daughter of the local noble lord, a loyal vassal to the kingdom. Once Rawlin's father, Larkin, had perished in battle with a sea serpent, Rawlin became king at the early age of 22. Before that, he had been a very military focused character just like his father. He knew very little of how to interact with people, especially the opposite gender. So, his advisors and court suggested that he held a royal ball to maybe find a suitable queen. And so Isobel travelled to the capital and certain circumstances led to others and a while later, they married. She was only 17.
19 years ago, roughly four years after their marriage, the King was out of the city overseeing some army matters. Isobel was left behind to make smaller court decisions while the king was absent. Quite a few years younger than the king, she had grown tired of the constant politics, scheming and military affairs. So, she left the castle and went to the docks. She disguised herself in maid's clothing and slipped from the castle, since normally she would need a royal escort to accompany her in the lower sections of the city.
She watched as the traders and ship crew unloaded and loaded goods back and forth from their ships. Then, she went into a tavern, unrecognized. There, she met a trader from Windsail by the name of Danton. He was a simple self made man of no noble heritage. Again, certain circumstances led to others and Isobel became pregnant. They never spoke again and Danton left the city via ship back to Windsail.
The king came back a while later and was delighted to see his wife finally pregnant. He had no idea of what had actually happened. And so, Prince Felix was born. He would become their only child and the heir apparent for the throne of the Stormtide Kingdom.
In her later years she employed an agent to search info about Danton's current whereabouts. The agent doesn't know the true significance of this man, she simply gave him the name and the fact that he was a trader roughly 20 years ago. The agent is under employment of a local noble, Ophelia Cliffsend, who was one of Isobel's few friends and the queen's Lady in waiting. The agent is a halfling by the name Erzin.
