Hendrik Dalman

Born in 1001, there are many rumors on the fate of young heir Hendrick Dalman. 
His family were known for their vineyards and agricultural estate spanning many acres to the west of Everglow City. Some of the finest human-brewed wine flowing through the area is from the Dalmans' estate. 
His father was the youngest of several boys, all of which died in some manner before they could produce an heir. By his fifties in 982, Calimar Dalman received the lordship - a position he had not wanted or prepared for. 
His father didn't marry until he was in his sixties, supposedly in some last-ditch effort to produce an heir. It wasn't until he was in his seventies that his younger wife finally gave him a child - Hendrick. She died shortly after the birthing from complications. 
In 1006, five-year-old Hendrick Dalman was kidnapped by the Ghost of the Sorrows. There was much speculation on whether or not he really was as the sightings were fleeting, the reports sketchy, and Calimar Dalman strangely stoic in the face of his only heir's disappearance. 
Calimar died in 1013 from old age, his younger sister (and last known Dalman other than Hendrik) taking the estate - Darlessa Dalman. 
There are many rumors involving the kidnapping of the Dalman Heir. Some firmly believe it was the Ghost of the Sorrows. Others believe Calimar accidentally killed his own child and covered up the murder. While others believe it may have been a ploy by Darlessa to claim her family's wealth. Seeing as she is childless, this scenario is deemed most unlikely. Yet others believe a competing household took the initiative and cut the head from their opponent. 
Hendrik's location is still unknown to this day, but some are optimistic he still lives.
