**Haenri Baudelaire** was born the first son to his parents, Viscount Thibaut and Felicity Baudelaire. Being the oldest son and heir to the County of Halston fall, he began his training from a young age in horsemanship, weapons, tactics, and more academic studies as well, such as mathematics and languages.

He excelled in his military training, being one the best riders among his fathers men by his late teens. His prowess with weapons and warfare helped raise him in the ranks of his fathers men quickly. Respected among his fathers men, he was given a command at the age of twenty, and also the charge of his younger brother’s education and training.

He married his childhood sweetheart Fiona, the oldest daughter of his fathers steward, on his 21st birthday, and not long after that she was with child. Haenri could not have been happier, the two had known each other since childhood and it was a good match, uniting the two most powerful families in the County.

It was not long after that his fathers banners were called and Haenri, his younger brother Jean, and his father all went off to war. The orcs in Redridge had been pressing the borders again, raiding and burning crops.

This is where Haenri’s fortunes turned for the worse. His father was killed in battle, an infection from a poisoned arrow he had caught in the shoulder. Then tragic news from home, his beloved wife Fiona had died in childbirth along with his son, all the best healers having been gone off to battle the orcs as well.

Haenri in his grief could not bear the thought of returning home, even though he was now the Viscount of Halson Fall. Instead, he stayed on in military service, enlisting himself in the Stormwind military. He served all over Azeroth in the last 14 years of his life, Alterac valley, Tol barad, Northrend, wherever he was sent it mattered little to him, the work and the constant fighting kept his mind from the tragic loss of his beloved wife and child. He rose through the ranks of the alliance, his last appointment of Knight champion being given to him just before returning home.

Only recently, his steward, his former father in law wrote to him. He had left his younger brother in charge of Halson fall while he was away, but it seemed his brother Jean was more interested in wine and women than any sort of administration duties. His steward had done his best over the last years to contain Erik, but it was now at a point of desperation the coffers were so low, and so Haenri was forced to return home and see what could be done to save his County.

## Personality

Haenri prefers to speak only when necessary, this can sometimes give people the false impression he is aloof or taciturn. Although not a man who generally enjoys the company of strangers, Haenri is generally friendly if approached in the same way and slow to anger.

20 years of military service have left him regimented in most things. He sleeps little, perhaps 4 to 6 hours a night, and is always up early. He rarely drinks wine, generally only a toast and only one. He does not smoke and is very careful about anything he puts in his body.

He trains daily, either with his men or on his own. He also reads at least a little everyday, a man who believes all knowledge is power.

Haenri is not one to enjoy the finer things in life. He avoids all formal situations if at all possible. He never shirks from his duties, he simply does not enjoy the social situations a man of his station must sometimes attend too.

His clothing and armor are simple and effective, only ever dressing formally when the situation calls for it. He does not enjoy wine or sweets and rarely partakes in either.

His one true passion is hunting, and he can often be found tracking game on his lands whenever he has any free time, often donating his kills to the local populace.

Haenri is a ravenous administrator, a micro manager that has his hand in almost everything in his County's government. He truly seems to enjoy the work, or perhaps the results of it, but his work ethic is legendary among his peers. He seems respected and adored among his people, because of all his hard work he puts in.

He won't ever order a man to do anything he would not himself and prefers to do the more difficult tasks on his own. This can sometimes mean near 20 hour work days for the man, but he seems to have a never ending level of energy, applying himself to every task with diligent efficiency.

## Description

Haenri stands at about 6 feet tall, with a muscular frame and wide shoulders. His brown hair is worn long, his beard neatly trimmed with just the beginnings of gray in it. His most notable feature is a long and jagged scar that starts on the left of his forehead and travels all the way down to his cheek, just missing the eye. He wears no jewelry save a single ring bearing his family crest on his right ring finger. He most often wears full plate armor, worn but well taken care of.
