Introduction
Baron Ian Raven of Tadcaster is a rapier fighter and illuminator formerly residing in Bhakail, now a citizen of Artemisia. He is a baron of the Court of Kenric and Avelina, a companion of the Orders of the Golden Rapier and the Silver Crescent, and a former Deputy East Kingdom Webminister.
He is also the captain of the Tadcaster Militia.
Persona
It is the late 1300's, and Ian is a land owner near a small brewing town halfway between York and Leeds. His manor raises sheep for the wool trade, the brewery on the River Wharfe makes a renowned porter, and the militia which he commands (while not a standing army) is ever ready to serve the crown protecting the Kingdom from interlopers and brigands.
This far north, there is thankfully very little plague.
