Gerard Amath
Gerard Amath is the current Duke of Almus, The Tenth.
The Amath family has ruled Almus for centuries ever since it was part of the The Waukan Empire and Gerard follows in his ancestor's footprints.
Regarded as a weak leader, several name Gerard's weakness as the reason why Dalry, The Thirteenth thought invading would be a good idea.
Gerard rules with a soft hand, letting his Earls and Barons rule for him, giving increasing power to his children and former partners leading to the current issues surrounding succession in the Duchy. This is best shown during the Dalry/Almus War , Gerard had little to do with strategy or logistics, leaving all of that to Marshall Corwin Dullum or his sons Neventer Le Moal and Avellion Bereltar. Despite Almus' success in this war, it exposed truly who the real heroes of the Duchy are, and Gerard was low on that list.
