Leopold Tyrith

Leopold Tyrith is the second oldest son of Grand Duke Wolfram Tyrith II and Grand Duchess Barena Argyle. He is the lord of Lion's Den, the heir to Pride Keep, and the Lord Grand Marshall of the Tyrith army. He is the husband of Lestara Mallick, and the father of Leon, Anya, Katya, and Merelyn.
Leopold is widely regarded as the greatest living general in Lordamere. In his younger years, he was similarly regarded as the greatest living swordsman as well. Leopold is an almost legendary figure, with his name commanding a great deal of respect, from allies and enemies alike.
Leopold is a honorable and resolute man. He is a firm believer in duty and service. He is quiet and reserved, but when he does speak, all around listen. While he cares for his family, he is focused on building his house's status and legacy. His loyalties and goals make him distant from his family, who he rarely gets to spend time with. He is not very affectionate, and his stern personality and high expectations have driven a wedge between him and his only son. Leopold's legendary reputation has set impossibly high expectations for his children. Despite his steadfast belief in honor, Leopold's fidelity to his wife has faultered.
He is always flocked by his companion, a lion named Redmarch.
