Gaenor Caerwyn

Gaenor Caerwyn, born 14 Beralin 1832 AS in Careton-on-Avenda, is the Duke of North Avendur, Marquis of Stonehorn, Earl of Underlea, Baron of Rillion, and head of House Caerwyn. Being currently 43 years old, he has lead his house since the age of 26 and the passing of his father. 
Gaernor has a reputation for being grim, dour, implacable, and stubborn. Once his mind is made up, and he has considered his options, nothing will shift him from his path, and his lack of a sense of humor is famous. He is suspicious and untrusting, but fiercely loyal to those who have earned his trust. He is deeply proud of his family's long history in the kingdom, dating back to Sothar's day, and emphasizes familial loyalty above all other virtues. To this end he has sought to make excellent matches for his daughters, hoping to firm up his positive relationship with House Dreigar and other older houses. While he recognizes the accomplishments of many, he does have a degree of disdain for newer houses, and personally, though he doesn't speak on it, finds the Barons Mendicant to be ridiculous, although some of this ire is likely due to his own annoyance at the pivotal role they played in the recapturing of the very keep he lost. 
During Balar's Rebellion Gaenor threw the support of his house behind Seldhe Halad, less out of any personal loyalty to her, but rather out of his sense of duty to the realm's order and the wishes of the dead king, Halar III, who he considered a close friend. Balar's taking of Carda's Eye was a personal embarrassment to Gaenor, and he was vengefully ruthless in executing captured members of Balar's forces on the retaking of the keep. Back in his possession, he worked to ensure Carda's Eye could never again be taken from as it had been; Gaenor has frequently used the fortress as a summer home, being less humid than his own castle in Careton-on-Avenda. 
Gaenor has little love for House Terwin; historically this has been the case between the two Houses, but Terwin's support of Balar's Rebellion was seen by Gaenor as opportunistic, disloyal, and unforgivable. 
In recent years Gaenor has sought to expand prospecting missions into the Ironfists. North Avendur's arable land is scare compared to that of more southerly Reaches and he dreams of finding mineral wealth that would bolster the fortunes of his House.
