Zenechar Trott (ZEH-ne-KAR trot)

Zenechar Keawlin Laszlo of House Trott, 127th Duke of Tahme, second of his name, 34th Baron of Valsheim, 9th of his name, was a member of the Reikland Estates and Prime Estates known for his demigryph and warhound breeding and his extensive and controversial mercenary concerns.

Description

History

Zenechar was born in Tahme, the third son of Duke Absolem III of Tahme and his wife Hannah Sigrina of House Sanktwillor. He was crowned Duke of Tahme in 2482 after the assassination of his father and his two brothers. Zenechar graduated from Altdorf University in 2486IC. After graduation, Zenechar became one of the most controversial figures in Reikland because of his repeated and flagrant breaking of Magnus's Laws concerning the limits of personal and private armies. He only maintained a single State Regiment, Reikland's 53rd Regiment of Foot, when he was expected to maintain three. He also financed several mercenary companies under the collective banner of Trott's Marauders that worked in the Border Princes, Averland, Wissenland, Tilea, Estalia, and Araby. Most of Zenechar's adult life was spent leading mercenary companies on foreign battlefields, where he earned the epithet 'Trott the Terror'.

Personal Life

Zenechar married three times. His first marriage was to Loula Feldmann, a peasant, in 2479IC. The marriage ended childless when Loula died in a hunting accident 2482IC. His second marriage was to Emilia Margarete Elisabeth of House Bronten in 2483IC. Controversially, the swapping of vows was undertaken in a private ceremony held at midnight in the shadow of the Bloodstane. In 2485IC, Emilia gave birth to the couple's first child, Shalgrid Beatrice Emilia in the Tahmenschloss. In 2487, Emilia gave birth to their second child, Absolem Blutherz Laszlo. In 2488, Emilia gave birth to Greta Alexandra Lazhau and died during the difficult childbirth. Zenechar's third marriage was to Anna of House Dabernick in 2503. The ceremony was held in the Eigerpass Temple in the Duchy of Hohenheim, Reikland. The marriage has produced no children.

Appearance

Short, slight, and verging on beautiful, Zenechar looks nothing like the terrifying mercenary he is reputed to be. Off the battlefield he is careful with his appearance and always dresses impeccably. His watchful pale-grey eyes rarely reflect his ready smile.
