Markham Dillestone
Markham Alaric Dillestone
The eldest son of Beltran Dillestone and Edda Dillestone .
Gregarious, Deceitful, Charming. Used to a life of indolence and luxury, Markham has floated for most of his life from one party or ball to the next, rarely stopping to absorb the importance of his name or his family's responsibility to the kingdom. Money flows through his fingers faster than water, and it's unclear if he's ever held a sword in his life. What he is good at, however, is amassing friends... especially friends in low places. Risevar Town is full of lawless warrens, and Markham seems to know the right people in every one of them to pass through unscathed on his ways to the brothels and taverns. He keeps a loyal retainer of personal guards around him at all times, usually to contend with drunks looking to pick fights or barkeeps trying to collect on the tab he's run up with them that night.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
A frequent patron of bawdy houses across the Heartland, Markham's appetites for both men and women are widely known.
Failures & Embarrassments
He has sired at least two bastards that he is aware of. His father Beltran has quietly paid the mother both times for their continued silence.
Intellectual Characteristics
Markham is capable of spinning wild untruths into plausible tales, and appearing utterly sincere while he does it.
Morality & Philosophy
A hedonist and libertine, Markham couldn't care less about House politics or the future of Banteave so long as his tankard remains full and there's a festival next week to attend. His father Beltran is convinced he can correct his son's errant course. Markham thinks its funny whenever he tries.
Relationships
History
Sabine thinks Markham's debauched lifestyle is an embarassment to the Dillestone name. Markham thinks Sabine has been "gone in the woods" too long to be presentable at court, and that her time spent in the Highlands with the Antari people have started to give her "outmoded ideas."
