Preston Knox

Sir Preston Knox is the thirdborn son of Oswald. He is married to Aislinn Corcoran, and through her father, stands second-in-line to inherit her ancestral home of Mistvale. Preston has always had a dubious reputation, a cruel heart that belies his handsome features. His mother's death, when he was still only a young child, perhaps fueled the sadism he exhibited from an early age--he would often inflict cruelty upon small animals, as well as his unfortunate younger brother Cadmus. As a squire he was accused of the murder of Gordon Blackthorne, which helped exacerbate the rivalry between their two ancient Houses. He adopted a unique flat-headed mace as his weapon of choice, and was knighted at an early age for his ferocious combat ability. He openly murdered Arthur Blackthorne at his son's wedding feast, sparking the Knox-Blackthorne War, and took a disfiguring injury during the ensuing fight. He is, at present, camped out in the Marshlands with a sizable loyalist army. Preston is often underestimated due to his small, lean build, but he has the strength and capability of a man twice his size, and an inherent viciousness that can barely be described as human at all.
