Stanlin Goodman
Lord Castellan Stanlin Goodman
Stanlin Goodman is the current Castellan of River Tower in the City of Mordar. He is a 36-year-old Human with a passion for tournament participation.
Mental characteristics
Employment
Stanlin is the Castellan of River Tower and has held that office for six years. He was named Castellan by the Lord of Mordar, Gustam Lothman, mainly due to pressure from the Lord High Constable of Imesse, Sandor am Toricki.
Failures & Embarrassments
Stanlin is a lack-luster Castellan, by any measure. He ignores any paperwork or administrative requirements of the office, spends far too much of the City's treasure on himself and his lackeys, and is only present in the Office of the Castellan about four days a month to collect full purses of coin to replace his empty ones.
Personality Characteristics
Vices & Personality flaws
Stanlin has had numerous illicit encounters with Aliya Isenbar, who is both the wife of the Isenbar heir and the daughter of the Baron of Cyell, Fulton am Bondari. He sees Aliya's husband as a spineless cuckold and does not consider him a threat, either socially or physically. The Baron, however, is a seriously dangerous and very influential member of the ruling elite of the High Kingdom who has killed men for far less than disgracing his daughter and his family's honor.
Social
Family Ties
Stanlin descends from an old family, but has not done anything to endear him to that family. With the passing of his mother 12 years earlier, the last member of his family that actually liked him was gone.
Hobbies & Pets
Stanlin has acquired a trained steppe eagle that he has named Amos. The eagle is a magnificent creature that is perfectly capable of hunting prey as large as fawns, foxes and martins as well as a huge variety of game birds. The bird, being as impressive and magnificent as it is, also cost a large fortune. Estimates of the eagle's price start at 75 gold guilders ($30,000 USD).
He seems to think that naming the eagle Amos is a clever slight on the Briar of Wessold and the husband of his mistress, but it is rapidly becoming common knowledge that he is involved with the daughter of the Baron of Cyell, who is a far more dangerous and capable player in the political arena of the Kingdoms than a simple Briar of a far western outpost.
Relationships
Wealth & Financial state
Stanlin's family is an old and well-connected noble house, but because he has alienated himself from nearly all of it, he has no access to any of the vast family fortune. Any funds he does have access to are all through the Noble House of Lothman and his position as Castellan of River Tower.
