Name: Count Andres Arden

Gender: Male

Age: 87CY/49RL

Marital status: Widower, wife Vaida Arden died to illness 10 CY ago.

Children: Daughter Gerey Arden(30CY/17RL)

Position: Ruler of Ornwood County and Waybrook city, leader of the rebellion against King Reginald.

Description: A wiry tall man with long blond hair and blue eyes, Count Arden has always been considered attractive even in his middle age years. He's healthy and agile, always up for a spar and likes to digress into big speeches about freedom and valour. It has been theorized that his agile build comes from an elven ancestor though the Count himself denies such statements. He's charismatic and inspires loyalty in his vassals and therefore many believe he has the chance to become a very good king.

Background: A ruler since early age when his mother, Countess Arden stepped aside to allow Andres rule, Arden is opinionated, wily, witty and smart. He has always held the hearts of the citizens of Ornwood and claims to be fighting for them as much as his own right.

Whatever sparked the conflict between him and King Reginald, he is fiercely fighting for the cause now, gathering around him a group of loyal and clever soldiers and with their help, taking city after city of Reginald's Haiden County. Alas, Reginald is not sitting idle either and is actively working to gain the support of other Counts to throw at Count Arden's growing army.

Trivia: A childhood friend of Count Lorjas Hawtrey of Perigord and therefore many believe Lorjas will come to his aid. Whether they keep in touch, is unknown.
