Thornton

World of Storm and Fury: Character Profiles: P-T: Thornton
His Worship Fenton, Lord Thornton
Lys Ambassador to Kordal



Race: Human
Email: Lys@worldofstormandfury.com
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Leucadia, Lys


Appearance:

A classic Lys Aristocrat, tall and stately bearing, brown hair turned grey at the temples and a handsome chiseled face, just beginning to wrinkle with age. Normally wears conservative dark tunic and hose with a white shirt.


Strengths:

A well-educated and skilled diplomat, speaks several languages including some elfish and can read the halfling script used for writing Common historically in Kordal.

Has more than competent riding skills and can handle a sabre with skill and aplomb.


Limitations/Weaknesses:

Though educated and knowledgeable, he is not a member of the Royal Court, nor a confidant of any ranking Aristocrat, and so has limited sources of information available--as Ambassador, he generally can do nothing more in his post than pass on messages from his King, and send back responses to Constantia.

He is actually a fairly bland and uninteresting man, despite his looks and station, and has little charm or ability to persuade.


Background:

Typical upbringing for a first son who would eventually become the head of the Noble Family he currently is. Tutored, then educated at Leucadia Academy from age 12-14, Constantia University from age 14-18, then entered the Diplomatic Corps. Served for a time in the Lowlands, and has been a part of several special delegations. When the nation of Kordal suddenly emerged from under Arundel suzerainty a few years ago, he was sent to Kordalburg as Ambassador from Lys. Since then, he has witnessed a fairly breathtaking pace of change, but as something of a privileged outsider, never really being told the significance of what is going on, and not really clever enough to learn much for himself.
