Dale Hartunian
Lord Dale Winifred Hartunian (a.k.a. "The young stag")
Dale Hartunian, called "The Young Stag" by many (mostly older) folks, is the eldest son of Roland Hartunian III. He is the Hartunian Family golden child. It was foretold he would rise to greatness amongst his forbears, and he has (so far) not disappointed. Excelling so thoroughly at his studies that The Bardic College Campus graduated him three years early (of a six year course load) because he simply tested out of them at a graduate level. He is not too tall, he isn't too short, and his athletic build is rounded out by plenty of well nourished flesh and bone. He is a natural born hunter, and a renowned falconer with trained birds who fly constantly all throughout the land between home and city. He is apprised of far more than anyone in his family realizes.
