[hider= Filtiarn Family]
[hider=Brief Family History]
Lord Lucian Filtiarn, the head of his family, is the owner of the Filtiarn logging company, responsible with supplying the whole kingdom with wood. When Lucian was young, long ago, the woods north of the Rothenburg were strictly forbidden for they were far too dangerous for travel. The woods were a death sentence to any who entered due to the overwhelming number of flesh eating creatures lurked in the trees. At the time the forest extended much further south, blocking the eastern routes out of the city, cutting trade circulation, and making it hard for outsider interaction.

Lucian, a young man in great shape, was the leader of small group of warriors who occasionally hunted the monsters in the woods. Taking his men into the woods with only the tools they could carry, they began to hunt their way through the woods into the first clearing, at the time never before seen, now nonexistent. Setting up camp, this clearing would eventually become the main log house of his enterprise. Initially, the log houses were outposts, for Lucian and his ever growing pack of warriors. Once clearing the threats to their safety, they would clear sections of the forest. This was the start of what would become a monopoly on one of the most abundant and most needed resources in the kingdom thanks to Lucian being the only person with building rights within the forest.

Lady Essenia Filtiarn, Lucians only love in life, was tragically and publically killed many years ago. Lucian and Essenia had been in love since childhood, though Lucian never felt qualified to give her the life she deserved. Lucian finally proposed after selling his first load of logs, allowing him to buy her the most gorgeous gown ever crafted in any kingdom. Luther, born with heterochromia, arrived about nine months later. His sister Elaine would not arrive for 7 more years however.

The death of Essenia still very much remains a mystery, with many suspecting Lucian caught her infidelity and ended both it and her life. He was the first one to find her body laying in a pool of blood. The cause of death is still widely speculated, though no one really knows. The Funeral was bigger than some of the previous kings, her kindness and generosity known widely throughout the land. The death of his wife, changed Lucians personality and demeanor. His smile died with his wife, along with his sense of empathy and really any emotion. His face remains a stone scowl, piercing your soul with his unforgiving gaze. 

Essenia’s death also heightened his paranoia, constantly fearing for his and his children’s lives. He was the first of the noble families to hire a house guard. Rather than hiring just ordinary mercenaries, Lucian hired some of the best trackers, marksmen, and a few brutish warriors from the arena. Giving them a uniform to gather behind, beds to sleep in, and a constant flow of gold for wine and women, it was not hard to hire a small army to defend his family manor. To further secure his place in the kingdom, Lucian married his daughter to the king's ‘younger’ brother, who is still twice her age.

[hider= Lucian]
[b]Name[/b]:Lucian Filtiarn
[b]Age[/b]:64
[b]Appearance[/b]:[hider=picture][img]https://i.imgur.com/nnXIIk7.jpg[/img][/hider]
[b]Occupation/Status[/b]: Lord; has a monopoly on the kingdoms logging industry
[b]Personality[/b]: Stern and upfront, Lucian does not like small talk or wasting time. He is a man of business and his only focus is building his industrial empire. He is not known for showing emotion, though interfering in his business affairs will surely piss him off. He cares deeply for his children, though he is not known for showing it. Mentioning Lucian's late wife is another way to activate his temper, many servants have lost their heads for speaking ill of Lady Essenia.
[b]History[/b]: Lucian is one of the wealthiest people in the kingdom, his logging empire the sole source of wood for the kingdom. In recent years, Lucian has sought to expand his business into mining as well, as deforestation north of Rothenburg has uncovered new cave systems and untouched resources. 
Though his rotund appearance does not make it apparent, Lucian used to be one of the best hunters in the kingdom, winning multiple competitions under many of the previous Kings. He maintains many scars from his days battling the beasts in the woods, an is still renown for leading the great purge of Ondorro forest.

[hider= Luther]
[b]Name[/b]: Luther Filtiarn
[b]Age[/b]:28
[b]Appearance[/b]:[hider=picture][img]https://i.imgur.com/tQIt20U.jpg[/img][/hider]
[b]Occupation/Status[/b]: Nobleman
[b]Personality[/b]: Lucian is a lush, wanting only women, alcohol, and "Toadjam" (a psychedelic compound made from toad, mushrooms, and fresh cadaver brain.) Luther was broken by the loss of his mother, pushing him only further down the path to alcoholism and also expediting his transformation into the kingdoms most well known man-whore. He has a semi-stable relationship with father, though they often disagree on business affairs. He and his sister are different, though they both agree that their father is a downright ass.  
[b]History[/b]: Lucian never really gave his son attention in his formative years, as though were also the formative years of Lucian's business empire. Essenia was a loving and caring mother who went to great lengths to take care of her children, making it only harder on him when she passed. His family had kept him guarded from the outside world, so he did not have any friends other than Lancelin, the boy next door. Trying to fill the hole left in his heart by her death, Luther began to fill every lady's hole he could. Though he is only somewhat trained, he is an excellent swordsmen, though its dependent on his blood alcohol level as well.
