**Lord** Roel Peregrine is a Stormwind nobleman who rules over the County of Crowmourne, including all Baronies located therein.

## Personality

Despite a proper upbringing, and the presence of loving parents and a welcoming home—Roel Peregrine is best described as cold and reticent. Given his nature, his supposed lack of clear empathy has been the discussion of many, and served as a blueprint for that of his children to follow.

### Description

The thinning, grey hair atop his head was once blonde, but though his eyes have sunk into his skull rather considerably over the years, his blue eyes still retain their piercing quality. Altogether, he makes for a rather imposing man, coupled with his above-average height, and stiff composure.

In most recent times, he is often seen leaning against a cane, but refuses to explain why. Because of this, many know him to be reserved and withdrawn, rarely offering any insight to the mysteries of his mind.

## Biography

Roel was born in 568 K.Y to Lord Theodore, and Lady Mariella Peregrine. As the only son, and supposedly only child, of the family, he was burdened rather early on with the excessive responsibilities of an heir and successor. Though he excelled in his studies, it became painfully clear after his birth that although his father may have been a skilled warrior, his son would not follow that same path. Where his predecessors had triumphed, Roel found himself short of humiliated, and resigned fairly early in life to stick with negotiations and political business exclusively.

Despite his upbringing, and his father’s incessant pushing; Roel went on to pursue a career in arts before he even so much as glanced at the inner workings of war. With his father’s guidance, he found that he quite enjoyed literature and fine arts, but following the death of his mother he eventually gave up his craft, and sought to hone his skills in arbitration rather than penmanship.

In an effort to erase his past—one which he considered weak, shameful and ill-suited for the ideals of his house—Roel eventually married the daughter of Lord Grangewell, and in turn received their aid in restoring his homelands.

## Titles

### Count of Crowmourne

Roel is the Lord of the County of Crowmourne, known for its breeding of near exuberant war horses, and for their brightly colored peregrine falcons.

### Baron of Crowmourne

He is the Baron of Crowmourne, the seat of the county, and also where Crowmourne Keep is located.

### Baron of Falcon Hill

Aside from the former, Roel is also Baron of Falcon Hill; a small town known for the ancient cathedral at its peak. It has remained untouched throughout the years, and was one of the first buildings built by his great grandfather.

## House

Roel is head of House Peregrine—a title passed onto him from his father.

## Relationships

Roel met his current wife of 36 years, Vera Peregrine, during the First War. With his home in ruin, he feared that without action his bloodline might come to an end, and in a desperate attempt to avoid sullying his father’s name, he arranged to marry the daughter of Lord Grangewell. His own house was, at the time, struggling to stand on its own feet, and while the Orcs raised hell upon their lands, the two men decided that such a marriage would greatly benefit them all, and subsequently save their families.

It was not until a year or so after the arrangement, and after the Kingdom of Lordaeron’s intervention during which Roel and Vera properly found love, and were able to focus on their own lives, rather than that of the future of Crowmourne. They have stayed faithful ever since.
