Okerra, Nicolaus
Baron Nicolaus Okerra
This handsome bear of a man stands a head taller than the crowd, and while starting to show his age with flecks of white in his black hair and beard, he retains a youthful smile and gentle eyes.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Okerra has a booming voice more suited to a battlefield than a palace; his servants hear him coming from across Pensaris. Although fair, he is ruled by powerful humors that lend him a temper and occasional deep bouts of depression. Though neatly groomed during the Tanager Jubilee, he often forgets to shave for days at a time and prefers a comfortable tunic to his noble attire. He remains muscular and athletic, even if his figure hides under a little extra padding these days. Perhaps Okerra’s greatest failing, aside from his unwavering devotion to order, is his lack of boating experience for a man leading a fishing community; locals joke that their “fearless commander” is terrified of the water, but Nicolaus insists it’s merely a preference for land that doesn’t buck like an unbroken stallion.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Nicolaus Okerra is the baron of a stretch of villages in the eastern portion of the county of Meratt, and he is a local hero of the people. Popular as much for his good looks as for his fair policies, he has slain several terrible beasts and helped organize community improvement projects like irrigation, roadwork, and wells, often rolling up his sleeves and chipping in with the manual labor. His staunch loyalty to order prevents him from standing against or even impugning the Lotheed family for their negligence, and instead he hopes to inspire his lackadaisical neighbors to action by showing the benefits of hard work and organizing charity for their peasants in lean times. Despite his action, he secretly worries he’ll never match the organizational abilities and human insights of his late wife, Okerra, Nirvenna, who ruled the barony in his stead during his military career.

Mannerisms
Nicolaus is a man of action; he cares little for fine words and prefers fine wines. He is still readjusting to civilian life, having retired from the Taldan Horse to assume control of his barony and raise his daughter, Okerra, Selli , after Nirvenna died confronting a troll. Nicolaus still prefers riding, sparring, and physical labor to elaborate balls and fine dinners, but he is beginning to learn the quiet joys of good company and a well-placed joke—though his own sense of humor remains appropriately blunt for a man of the people.
