Riordan MacClachlan
Riordan MacClachlan is the Rí of Eirin, the kingdom of Oileán Fiáin that hosts the court of the Ard-Rí and the Fearainn an Ard, the High Court of the Fae. He is the senior member of the Coiste Ríochta, the council composed of the five Rís of Oileán Fiáin, and the only member who was a part of selecting the current Ard-Rí, Cianán Líathdhuine. He was opposed to Líathdhuine's appointment to the throne of the Ard-Rí, but he was the only dissenter and Líathdhuine was elected over his objection. This is a fact which has rankled MacClachlan for the last twenty years, turning a dislike for both Líathdhuine and the office of the Ard-Rí into a true and deep hatred.
He has held the throne of Eirin for nearly thirty-five years, inheriting it from his father. He has never married, and has no children of his own; he has named his sister's son Finn as heir, requiring him to take the MacClachlan name over that of his father. Riordan is very proud of his family name, and resents that he is in any way required to treat the low-born Líathdhuine as an equal in any capacity. He also detests how the Ard-Rí's court overshadows that of Eirin's Rí, and will become angry and sharp-tongued when the Ard-Rí is mentioned to him. His courtiers know to avoid speaking of the Ard-Rí or his court if they wish to remain in MacCLachlan's favor.
