Hector von Glau; Baron of Duskwick
A shrewd political operator, notoriously miserly, and increasingly paranoid, Hector von Glau is the current Baron of Duskwick and its surrounding countryside; the most populous settlement and area of the Windward Peninsula.
While Hector is a born member of the nobility of Vallanna, the Barony of Duskwick is nevertheless a recent acquisition for his family, having been granted (after much lobbying on Hector's part), by the King following the untimely death of the previous Baron, who left no heir, in 1294 AoU.
Generally unloved by the populace of Duskwick, due to his oppressive raising of taxes and underinvestment in public necessities, Hector has been content to see his family's wealth grow at the expense of the common folk.
Social
Family Ties
A widower, the Baron has two adult children - Rickard and Henrietta; both of whom live with him in Duskwick Manor.
Wealth & Financial state
Already a wealthy member of the nobility upon his assumption of the title of Baron of Duskwick, Hector has since extended his miserly ways to the running of the town and surrounding countryside, raising taxes on the population and dramatically cutting back on the civil budget. In the process, he has accrued a substantial fortune, at the expense of those unfortunate enough to live under his governance.
