Name: Lord Brencis Kalarn
Pronunciation: Brin-sis Ka-lar’n
Gender: Male
Age: 52
Turnday: 3024.06.24, or the 16th Turn of the 11th Pass.
Weyr/Location: Icy Caverns Hold
Rank: Lord Holder
Spouse: Lady Roshanna (50)
Family:
Sons: Mekeal (25), Lavan (21), Randev and Vekat (Twins, 15)
Daughters: Eira (30), Lesolla (24), Zubrina (18)
Daughter-in-law: Alyairia (22)
Sons-in-law: Godovron (28) and Petroviz (20)
Grandsons: Mekair (3) and Gesolron (2)
Granddaughters: Melya (1), Petrina (1)
Friends: Not many
Pets: None, though he does have a personal sled team.
Appearance: Lord Brencis Kalarn stands almost a full inch over six and a half feet, and he’s built like a rock — broad shoulders and muscles all over. He has golden blond hair, which he wears at shoulder length, after the fashion of the north, and a short golden beard. His eyes are a pale blue, like the color of a stormy ocean ((look for pictures of the Oregon coast)). His clothing is always fur-lined, though he commonly wears an outer layer of either cloth (if he’s inside) or leather (if outside) which is dyed in patterns of vibrant red and blue.
Personality: Lord Brencis is a very proud man; he sees himself as a defender of tradition and traditional morals, rights, and responsibilities. He demands that his position and person be respected, and has very little patience with those who break the rules. If he cannot punish the rule-breakers themselves, he will sometimes punish those who were associated with them. He views disagreement as a challenge, and is hard-headed and belligerent when people try to talk him around. However, if the people refuse to back down from him, he will eventually consider their point of view — he respects those that can stand up to him, for he has a sort of aura of personal power that cows many before they even speak.
History: Lord Brencis Kalarn was the second son of the former Lord Holder Icy Caverns, but he was the most like unto his father in temperament and appearance. He was jealous of his elder brother, knowing that the elder would inherit the title, but despite that was idealistic in his views, hoping that the north could be softened and made safer — an attitude he came by from his mother.
When Brencis was ten, his eldest brother (than fifteen) was killed in a drunken brawl, making Brencis the eldest. From that time forward, Brencis focused on being like his father. Tough, strong-willed (read “stubborn”) and to-the-point. As this was his natural personality anyway, it wasn’t long before all of the initial idealism of his childhood was lost. His father quickly bonded to him, though his mother quietly mourned the loss of the young boy who had followed her lead in his thoughts and became far less friendly with him after this. Ironically, the decrease in strength of his mother’s affection had the effect of making Brencis even more like his father.
Brencis married Roshanna, daughter of Lord Raidon of Rolling Hills Hold (and aunt of the current Lord Munokhoi), when he was 20 and she 18. They didn’t get along extremely well, but they learned fast and two Turns after their marriage their first child, Eira, was born. Over the next five Turns, Roshanna had three miscarriages, for reasons that the Healers could not determine. Brencis was extremely frustrated during this time: He wanted a son! It was to his great relief (and that of everyone who had to deal with him) when Mekeal was finally born. The birth of the other children followed in due order, with Brencis being dutifully pleased with daughters and truly delighted with sons.
Two months after Mekeal's birth, Brencis's father died, making Brencis the Lord Holder. Brencis promptly took his advising council by storm, establishing the same "you can talk about stuff around me but I make my own way" relationship with them that his father had had. The governing of Icy Caverns continued unabated.
Adoption?: He’s an NPC, so the answer is yes
