Roslyn Duclos (rozlin doo-kloe)

Her Grace, Countess Roslyn Duclos

Roslyn Duclos is the Countess of Aramor, a County in Aria. She is, arguably, one of the most wealthy and powerful individuals in the world, and inarguably the most wealthy and powerful woman in the world. She rules a county that is larger than some nations and is the holder of more personal wealth than any two other individuals in Aria combined. Roslyn's wealth stems from holdings and properties that her family has had for generations, including a massive silver mine in the mountains near Vendural, several very large cotton weaving businesses, four successful and very popular vineyards, and ships that harvest giant kracken from the sea and sell the beast's meat and parts as component material.   She is 64 years old, has notably unattractive features and a famously abrasive personality, yet is still one of the most eligible unwed women in all the known world. She was the only child of the former Count Roche Duclos, who died 8 years earlier at the venerable age of 98.
