Name and Title: King Tarquin VI of House Heartwroth
Appearance:
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Married: No, and looking for a suitable Queen.
Bio: Tarquin's father Horhest II "The Grim" was known as a legendary warrior king who got the nation into many battles, all that he would win until he entered the most recent and ongoing war where he would be slain. Horhest was as his nickname described him, a grim and serious man he was a utilitarian in nature being against frivolities and enjoyment in life and focused purely on warfare. Horhest tried to raise Tarquin to be the same and gave him a martial education, however Tarquin had a mind for other things like art and architecture. As much as Horhest would try he was never able to beat this out of Tarquin and since becoming king Tarquin has become a patron of the arts, and has dedicated large amounts of money to grand buildings, statues and paintings instead of the war. However there was one lesson that he kept from his education which was "A friend today is an enemy tomorrow, and enemy today is a friend tomorrow, a stranger is both today and neither tomorrow". In other words, he was taught to keep your allies and subjects under a tight reign which inspired him to issue the order for all subjects to come to court where he will be watching them with an ever present eye.
Personality: Warm and friendly on the exterior, he enjoys the noble court procedures such as balls and feasts, and he will also welcome the chance to talk to people. However he is no fool either, he may genuinely enjoy balls and conversation but they provide a perfect opportunity to watch over his vassals and gain information.
Opinion of the King and the other Nobles: He has no outspoken enemies at the moment, however he knows it's only a matter of time until one ambitious upstart tries to rise above their station. With that said, he welcomes the chance to become friends with them.
Trivia: Writes with his left hand, wields a sword with his right and is ambidextrous with cutlery.

Name and Title: Field Marshal His Grace Jacques Barthet the Duke of Carmachié


Gender: Male

Age: 47

Married: Never had the time.

Bio: Jacques was always a wild child. Playing games of war and violence with the boys in his family’s household. He paid little attention to his lessons in philosophy and literature but he loved those in riding and fencing. As he grew older he took less and less to violent games and more to women and alcohol. His parents, of course, did not approve of this so they sent him of to the military academy so that he could learn some discipline. And this he did. He learned every skill a military man might need. Strategy, illustration (to create sketch maps and diagrams), surveying, horsemanship and weapon handling. But he was also instilled with patriotic ideals of fighting for one's king and country.

When his education was done a more disciplined, yet still young and naive, Jacques left for the wars. Ready to fight and die for his country. He was commissioned as an officer of a cavalry regiment and things went very well for him. He won many victories. However, the horrors of war soon became apparent to him and his romanticised view of it slowly faded away. As he rose up the ranks he became more and more bitter. One of his greatest victories was at the battle of Carmachié where Jacques was severely out numbered. He won by feigning a retreat and luring the enemy into a nearby village where he ambushed and destroyed them. This gained him the title of duke of Carmachié and the position of field marshal.

Personality: Stern, bitter and strict. Jacques is a military man through and through. He values strength and discipline above everything else. He is a stoic man who shows little emotion and rarely smiles.

Opinion of the King and the other Nobles: He had great respect for Horhest II. Less so for his son. Jacques is not a very cultured man and sees the king as weak. He sees no benefit to the kingdom in building museums and opera houses and thinks that more resources should be spent on ending the war.
