Rainald Knightwood, Mayor of Castle Town

Mayor Rainald Knightwood

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

While he is occasionally seen strolling around the city streets, the Steward loves his rich foods. Long story short, he's a bit portly.

Body Features

Rainald is very pale, and the tips of his pointed, Hylian ears are starting to droop with age.

Apparel & Accessories

The Steward is well known for buying expensive jewelry, such as necklaces and rings, which he almost always has on his person. He's easily seen in a crowd wearing his rich, red robes with gold embroidery and gold jewelry.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Rainald was born into a wealthy Hylian family in Castle Town, who, after the death of the last Princess Zelda, were one of the many families to try to lay claim to the Hylian throne. His family, the Knightwoods, were the closest, physically, to the Royal Family, since they lived in Castle Town, and were familiar with the family and the citizens of the town. With these factors in their favor, they were able to gain control of Castle Town, at least, if not the throne, itself.
Rainald is the third Steward to rule over Castle Town thus far, after his father and grandfather before him.

Gender Identity

Male, he/him/his

Education

Young Reinald was privately tutored throughout his childhood, using books that were saved from the castle, with a focus on business and finance.

Intellectual Characteristics

Rainald is known to be a very calculating man, and is also very proud of the power given to him through his family line. He has also mastered the song and dance of politics, allowing him to keep this power and hold over Castle Town.

Morality & Philosophy

The Steward views himself, as a descendant of the Royal Family, to be one of the goddesses' chosen ones, and thinks of his position as steward as a divine right.
Actions speak louder than words, however, and he is rarely seen at The Temple of Time, either worshipping or donating to its renovation. The city's funds are also rarely allocated to the temple. Some say this is because his relationship to the caretaker of the temple, Nerisaga, is less than amicable.

History

Tetra-Val and Rainald know each other only very distantly, meeting only to discuss trade between their respective cities and to negotiate the level of military guard that would be provided along that trade route. There's something about Rainald that doesn't seem right to Tetra-Val, however, which leads to her trying her best to keep their meetings short and as polite as possible. Rainald views Tetra-Val with a quaint sort of fondness, though, and admires her strength and intuition, but doesn't share too much with her, assuming that she wouldn't be educated enough to understand the complex inner workings of the politics of Hyrule just yet.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

They both want to keep their respective populations strong and well-cared for in their own ways.

History

Reinald and Neri know each other through political meetings and events in Castle Town. However, Neri views the Steward as a hypocrite and doesn't believe that he was chosen by Hylia, since he does not possess the Triforce of Wisdom. Reinald, on the other hand, doesn't pay much attention to Neri, since he figures that they don't hold much power or sway over him in his position.

History

Nock only came to Rainald's attention once the Carnival started attracting more business and customers. Rainald thought that the Carnival was quaint, and ended up gracing it with his presence every so often. Over time, however, the Steward's visits became more and more regular as he discovered an affinity for gambling.
Recently, however, the relationship has turned sour as Rainald has accused Nock of thievery and murder.
