Count Porteau Loden

Count Porteau Loden is Champ's maternal grandfather and a prominent politician in Deastock. They had a rocky relationship for the first part of Champ's life, but the Count is currently working through some prejudices and working on himself. He's happy to have a grandson.
He wrongly assumed that Mephisteg (Greg) had killed kidnapped and his daughter Cecilia and had been hunting for Greg all these years. He had promised Cecilia's hand to another prominent politician, Lord Desmond, who was actually the one who killed Cecilia and incorrectly told the Count it was Greg. 
After a brief battle with a mind controlled Lord Desmond after the Darrington Ball in Deastock ending in Lord Desmond's death, the Count agreed to help cover up what happened and Smashmouth left without implication.
