Alfret Codding

==Overview==
Alfret Codding was the head of the Advisory Council of Llanoreid under Duke Wilddar Braitbirn, most notable for serving during the Uprootings. Codding's family resided in the Contran city of Llynfirth on the northern shores of Lake Llanoreid, and, as such, was severely impacted by Barren II Grenthyx's ongoing blockade from 198 AG onwards. Codding was loyal to his family and felt dutybound to provide for them in his job with the Advisory Council and these blockades preventing him from being able to support his family in a time of famine, creating a deep resentment of the King. He was promoted from Head of Riches upon Llanoreid's entry into the war, as the position had not previously existed, and served until his death during the Invasion of the Chaestlands in 202 AG. Codding believed he was woefully unprepared to lead the council during wartime but acted to the best of his ability all the same. Wilddar was known to be passive when it came to politics and thus much of his decision making was left to his council, and at times, solely to the head, which resulted in much of Llanoreid's policy being hostile to the King given Alfret's views on him. In the final days of the war, Codding was given command of Llanoreid's naval forces in the Duke's stead. It was on Wilddar's flagship, The Absolutist, that Codding lost his life, refusing to abandon ship as it was attacked and sunk.
