Emerick

Emerick is the High Curator at the Winter Keep. He is one of King Warren I Boyce's most trusted and closest advisers as well as an adviser on the High Council. 
== Biography ==
He was born as a member of the commonfolk, the common populace of the Kingdom, in Whitley Bay, a settlement in the Domainlands swearing fealty to House Knigh. He became a Curator at the age of 23 at the start of the reign of King Kaegan III Boyce, serving House Knigh of Seawatch. He was then elected by the Board and given the title of High Curator, a personal request by King Byrron II, in 351 AF at the age of 36. He was the Lord Adviser during the reign of Byrron II and briefly at the start of Harlow I's reign. He is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable men in the Kingdom, as well as possibly the oldest living man in the Kingdom at 87 years old.
He has forged eight links in his chain, displaying his competence in all fields of learning, except the ostracised blacksteel link of the study of the mythologies as Emerick is a staunch non-believer in the mythologies and magic. 
== Personality ==
Emerick is an introverted man as he is relatively shy to confrontation and disliked speaking up during High Council meetings. However, he is not a fickle man and easily swayed to one side as he is extremely loyal to House Boyce and is proud of his service to the King. He is one of the most knowledgeable men in the Kingdom and his words of advice and council should be taken into serious account as he has served as High Curator to three Kings over a period of 51 years. While he is old and is less able than he was in his youth, his mind has not deteriorated and when given a task, as he jumps at the opportunity and surprises people with his mobility when he is in that state of mind. 
He is one of the most senior curators and is highly respected within the Guild but he finds that the newer generation of the Board is significantly incompetent compared to the Board that administered the Guild during his earlier years as a Curator. He particularly dislikes Principal Curator Corlin and his theories on seasons and Winter which Emerick finds as dangerous and stupid. This is one of the few times that Emerick displays a deep dislike toward something where otherwise he is usually a rather cheerful and kind old man with no bad words to say.
In regards to his abilities as a Curator, he is extremely competent in all fields (bar the mythologies as he has no care for it) but he is most adept in the histories. He has a great love for the histories and could ramble for many hours about the various facts and events that he has learnt and discovered, much to the dismay of the listeners.
