Mowry

World of Storm and Fury: Character Profiles: K-O: Mowry
Earl Mowry, Lord High Chancellor of the Kingdom of Lys


Race: Human
Email: Lys@worldofstormandfury.com
Age: 59
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Leucadia, Kingdom of Lys

Appearance:

An aged man, he shows every one of his 59 years on his pinched face and grey hair. He walks only slowly and with a cane. His finery is normally very plainly cut, so to avoid any chance of outshining his King.


Strengths:

A long and successful life of Royal Service have made him the most powerful minister in Lys. He has served three Kings, and is an expert on Royal Court politics and intrigue. He was educated at Leucadia Academy and the Lys Military Academy.


Limitations/Weaknesses:

He is now quite an old man, and it slows him. He now walks with a cane, wielding a sword would be out of the question. He has less support at Court now than he once did, his generation is dying off and the younger generation seems caught up in a different mythos than his world.


Background:

Earl Mowry was actually a second son, and went to Lys Military Academy instead of a university as it was expected he would have a military career. But his older brother was killed in a Plot of Regicide which his father was instrumental in breaking up. Shortly after, the previous Earl Mowry became Lord High Chancellor. He would die only two years later of plague, and the new Earl Mowry stepped into his father's Office.

He has done an able job, often being the voice of reason when other ministers and nobles squabble. Yet now, late in his life, there are those who whisper his sharp wits are going--for only two years ago, an eighteen year old Daughter of Lys, whom he urged King Alfred to subordinate the Realm to under the banner of Empire, turned out to be far more than he could handle when she succeeded in putting her own Imperial interests ahead of the Kingdom of Lys.
