'''Lord Tristan Morgan Westmoreland Vandervort, Viscount of Morpeth''' <br />
Caucasian male, 28 years old, 6'1" and 195 lbs<br />
Mystic archetype

== Overview ==
<div>Tristan's public persona is that of a rich playboy, and in truth he ''is'' a rich playboy. He was born into incredible wealth, and everything has come easily to him. He will inherit the noble title and the family's wealth upon his father's death, and has been groomed for that role from a young age. He has also been fully indoctrinated into the family's arcane dealings, and has discovered that he has a talent for it.

Both parents are still alive. His father, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle] in England, is from one of the oldest noble families and owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

Tristan was born in Hong Kong in 1901, while his parents were handling business there. He went to boarding school at a young age, and (barely) finished his studies at Cambridge. He is currently living in Arkham, Massachusetts, and was "fortunate" to get a visa despite the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act).

He moved to Akham for the following reasons:
* Find a copy of the ''De Vermis Mysteriis'' tome, for his family.
* Discover if there is an Elder Thing located around Arkham, and if so offer his services to it...
* ... and then learn if there is any remedy he can use to aid the Elder Thing that his family cares for in England.
* Recruit capable folks who can help fight against the Ancient Ones.
* Look over his younger brother, who just started as a resident doctor at St Mary's Hospital.

Tristan's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpeth,_Northumberland Viscount of Morpeth] title is a ''courtesy'' title, since he is the heir to the Earl title.

== Occult Ties ==
It was during the late Middle Ages, soon after his ancestor Andrew earned the title of Earl of Carlisle and took over Naworth Castle, that a coterie of ghouls began to plague his lands. It was to be the first major challenge for the newly appointed Earl, and one that almost broke him and the family. Not wanting to appear weak to his liege, nor to scare the common folk, Andrew and his family had to wage a "silent war" against them. The family suffered severe casulaties, and it was only the discovery of an Elder Thing deep in the cave system under Naworth Castle that finally changed the tide of the war. In their exploration and mapping of the cave system they discovered Gallu-Dingir, a severely weakened and ill Elder Thing. While their first instinct was to consider it a ghoul-created abomination, they refrained from trying to kill it when it tried to converse with them. It had much knowledge of Ancient Ones and their minions, and they learned of the ancient war the Elder Things fought against Ancient Ones.

The Elder Thing Dingir-Abba told them of a small group of lycanthropes which might aid them in their fight against the ghouls. Their first encounter did not go well, and Thomas the second-born son of Andrew perished under the terrible claws of a hot-headed lycanthrope. It was only the action of Hludawiga One-Eye, a mystic of their pack, that led to a stop in what was going to be a massacre. She knew of the Elder Thing, whom she called a minion of the Weaver, and convinced their leader that they now owed the familly a grave debt. It was to be later discovered that the pack was also hard-pressed by the ghouls, despite their impressive individual fighting capabilities, and needed allies. The leader agreed only on condition that at least one family member would be able to beat a series of tests, the last being a chilling test of enduring unspeakable horror. It was surprisingly Andrew's daughter, Eleanor, who succeeded where everyone else failed. She was able to join the lycanthropes as an equal, and their joint forces were able to finally repulse the ghouls from their lands.

In short:
* The family has long ties with an Elder Thing they call Gallu-Dingir, which exists in the cave system under their ancestral castle.
* The Elder Thing is ill, from encoutering a part of the Ancient One ''Umôrdhoth'', and it is not clear how to heal it.
* It introduced them to a group of lycanthropes, and now at least one family member is always a lycanthrope.
* It was through their alliance with the lycanthropes that they were able to purge the ghouls that had started to ravage their lands.

As for Tristan himself, his first supernatural encounter happened at the age of 10. As part of the family's many arcane rites, all descendants are required to watch as one of their own shifts into a lycanthrope form. It was his mother that he witnessed shifting, and he was not able to handle it... running away screaming. While later on he was able to handle, at least somewhat, his intrinsic fear of seeing a loved one transform into a terrifying and shocking form, he was nonetheless deemed unfit to carry the lycanthrope tradition. Partly as a result of this he further increased his mystic studies, to compensate for his failings.

== Family ==
The Westmoreland Vandervort noble family can show a direct lineage to the founding of the Earl of Carlisle title, back in 1322. More precisely, the ancestor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Harclay,_1st_Earl_of_Carlisle Andrew of Westmoreland] came from a knightly family and distinguished himself in the Scottish Wars in 1315. For his actions he earned the title Baron. It was later in 1322 when he defeated the rebel Thomas of Lancaster that he was awared the title of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle].

Tristan's parents support each other and the family, which means everything to them. They met in 1891 at the University of Cambridge, and a couple of years later they departed for Hong Kong. The family had significant holdings there, and Tristan's father decided to take a hands-on approach during this tumultuous time. In the next few years they conceived Tristan, Alistair, and his sister there.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naworth_Castle Naworth Castle], the ancestral seat of the family since 1323, is still privately held by the family.</div>

== Wealth ==
The family's assets are mostly in leaseholds, which is a concept that dates back to feudal times. In England, among many other places, freehold is the most comprehensive form of land ownership, granting perpetual ownership of land and buildings, while leasehold involves owning the right to use a property for a limited period of time (such as 99 years), after which ownership of the land reverts to the freeholder. The Westmoreland Vandervort family owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

The family had at one time owned a few companies in Hong Kong, most notably [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dent_%26_Co. Dent Vandervort & Co]. Major British mercantile companies known as "hongs" dominated Hong Kong during the 1800s, especially after the colony was ceded to Britain in 1842. Founded before Hong Kong's establishment, Dent Vandervort & Co. was known as the second largest British trading company in East Asia. The company bought one of the first plots of land at Hong Kong's initial land sale in 1841 and opened its headquarters there soon afterward. Like other "hongs", this company initially focused on the China trade and then from there expanded into finance, shipping, insurance, and real estate. Subsidiary firms were created to manage each of these areas of businesses.

In 1861 William Vandervort and his associates were pushed out of the main business, which was then renamed to Dent & Co or just Dent's, and instead spun off the real estate subsidiary into its own independent business. This later merged into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongkong_Land Hongkong Land], with the Vandervort family owning a 20% stake in that business. With that settled Tristan's father returned home to England.

'''Corwyn''' <br />
Eonir (High Elf), Noble <br />
male, 101 years old, 6'2" and 195 lbs

Born in the forests of Laurelorn, a wood elven enclave situated in the Empire, Corwyn is considered a Wood Elf noble. The wood elves of Laurelorn date back to when it was a High Elven colony, and over time they have become a distinct people called the Eonir. Culturally they share more with the ''Asur'' elves of Ulthuan rather than the ''Asrai'' elves of Athel Loren.

Corwyn is of the Ni'Tessine family, who have owned and cared for the north-eastern lands in the Ward of the Sun. The Ward of the Sun is the inner ward of Laurelorn Forest, and humans are only allowed by rare exceptions. The Ward of the Frost, mostly inhabited by nomadic elves and a few humans, lies to the East. To the South is the Ward of Rain which is mostly swampland, and to the West is the Ward of Storm which is said to have mutated woods and strange beasts.

In Eonir society, all Elves are born into social classes called 'kindreds'. The two primary kindreds of Eonir society are Toriour and Faniour, named after the Eltharin words for ‘city’ (Tor) and ‘forest’ (Fan) combined with ‘Oriour’, meaning ‘birth’ or ‘blood’. Corwyn is Toriour, and his ancestors were part of the original High Elf colony before the War of the Beards. During those tumultuous times Laurelorn took in many elven refugees, both noble and commoners, and were allowed to settle on the outskirts, becoming the Faniour.

In Eonir society, all Elves are born into social classes called 'kindreds'. The two primary kindreds of Eonir society are Toriour and Faniour, named after the Eltharin words for ‘city’ (Tor) and ‘forest’ (Fan) combined with ‘Oriour’, meaning ‘birth’ or ‘blood’. Corwyn is Toriour, and his ancestors were part of the original High Elf colony before the War of the Beards. During those tumultuous times Laurelorn took in many elven refugees, both noble and commoners, and were allowed to settle on the outskirts, becoming the Faniour.

'''Corwyn''' <br />
Eonir (High Elf), Arcane Wizard <br />
male, 101 years old, 6'2" and 195 lbs

Born in the forests of Laurelorn, a wood elven enclave situated in the Empire, Corwyn is considered a Wood Elf noble. The wood elves of Laurelorn date back to when it was a High Elven colony, and over time they have become a distinct culture called the Eonir. Culturally they share more with the Asur of ... rather than the Asrai elves of Athel Loren.

Corwyn is of the Ni'Tessine family, who have owned and cared for the north-eastern lands in the Ward of the Sun. The Ward of the Sun is the inner ward of Laurelorn Forest, and humans are only allowed by rare exceptions. The Ward of the Frost, mostly inhabited by nomadic elves and a few humans, lies to the East.

'''Lord Tristan Morgan Westmoreland Vandervort, Viscount of Morpeth''' <br />
Caucasian male, 28 years old, 6'1" and 195 lbs<br />
Mystic archetype

== Overview ==
<div>Tristan's public persona is that of a rich playboy, and in truth he ''is'' a rich playboy. He was born into incredible wealth, and everything has come easily to him. He will inherit the noble title and the family's wealth upon his father's death, and has been groomed for that role from a young age. He has also been fully indoctrinated into the family's arcane dealings, and has discovered that he has a talent for it.

Both parents are still alive. His father, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle] in England, is from one of the oldest noble families and owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

Tristan was born in Hong Kong in 1901, while his parents were handling business there. He went to boarding school at a young age, and (barely) finished his studies at Cambridge. He is currently living in Arkham, Massachusetts, and was "fortunate" to get a visa despite the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act).

He moved to Akham for the following reasons:
* Find a copy of the ''De Vermis Mysteriis'' tome, for his family.
* Discover if there is an Elder Thing located around Arkham, and if so offer his services to it...
* ... and then learn if there is any remedy he can use to aid the Elder Thing that his family cares for in England.
* Recruit capable folks who can help fight against the Ancient Ones.
* Look over his younger brother, who just started as a resident doctor at St Mary's Hospital.

Tristan's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpeth,_Northumberland Viscount of Morpeth] title is a ''courtesy'' title, since he is the heir to the Earl title.

It was during the late Middle Ages, soon after his ancestor Andrew earned the title of Earl of Carlisle and took over Naworth Castle, that a coterie of ghouls began to plague his lands. It was to be the first major challenge for the newly appointed Earl, and one that almost broke him and the family. Not wanting to appear weak to his liege, nor to scare the common folk, Andrew and his family had to wage a "silent war" against them. The family suffered severe casulaties, and it was only the discovery of an Elder Thing deep in the cave system under Naworth Castle that finally changed the tide of the war. In their exploration and mapping of the cave system they discovered Gallu-Dingir, a severely weakened and ill Elder Thing. While their first instinct was to consider it a ghoul-created abomination, they refrained from trying to kill it when it tried to converse with them. It had much knowledge of Ancient Ones and their minions, and they learned of the ancient war the Elder Things fought against Ancient Ones.

The Elder Thing Dingir-Abba told them of a small group of lycanthropes which might aid them in their fight against the ghouls. Their first encounter did not go well, and Thomas the second-born son of Andrew perished under the terrible claws of a hot-headed lycanthrope. It was only the action of Hludawiga One-Eye, a mystic of their pack, that led to a stop in what was going to be a massacre. She knew of the Elder Thing, whom she called a minion of the Weaver, and convinced their leader that they now owed the familly a grave debt. It was to be later discovered that the pack was also hard-pressed by the ghouls, despite their impressive individual fighting capabilities, and needed allies. The leader agreed only on condition that at least one family member would be able to beat a series of tests, the last being a chilling test of enduring unspeakable horror. It was surprisingly Andrew's daughter, Eleanor, who succeeded where everyone else failed. She was able to join the lycanthropes as an equal, and their joint forces were able to finally repulse the ghouls from their lands.

In short:
* The family has long ties with an Elder Thing they call Gallu-Dingir, which exists in the cave system under their ancestral castle.
* The Elder Thing is ill, from encoutering a part of the Ancient One ''Umôrdhoth'', and it is not clear how to heal it.
* It introduced them to a group of lycanthropes, and now at least one family member is always a lycanthrope.
* It was through their alliance with the lycanthropes that they were able to purge the ghouls that had started to ravage their lands.

As for Tristan himself, his first supernatural encounter happened at the age of 10. As part of the family's many arcane rites, all descendants are required to watch as one of their own shifts into a lycanthrope form. It was his mother that he witnessed shifting, and he was not able to handle it... running away screaming. While later on he was able to handle, at least somewhat, his intrinsic fear of seeing a loved one transform into a terrifying and shocking form, he was nonetheless deemed unfit to carry the lycanthrope tradition. Partly as a result of this he further increased his mystic studies, to compensate for his failings.

== Family ==
The Westmoreland Vandervort noble family can show a direct lineage to the founding of the Earl of Carlisle title, back in 1322. More precisely, the ancestor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Harclay,_1st_Earl_of_Carlisle Andrew of Westmoreland] came from a knightly family and distinguished himself in the Scottish Wars in 1315. For his actions he earned the title Baron. It was later in 1322 when he defeated the rebel Thomas of Lancaster that he was awared the title of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle].

Tristan's parents support each other and the family, which means everything to them. They met in 1891 at the University of Cambridge, and a couple of years later they departed for Hong Kong. The family had significant holdings there, and Tristan's father decided to take a hands-on approach during this tumultuous time. In the next few years they conceived Tristan, Alistair, and his sister there.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naworth_Castle Naworth Castle], the ancestral seat of the family since 1323, is still privately held by the family.</div>

== Wealth ==
The family's assets are mostly in leaseholds, which is a concept that dates back to feudal times. In England, among many other places, freehold is the most comprehensive form of land ownership, granting perpetual ownership of land and buildings, while leasehold involves owning the right to use a property for a limited period of time (such as 99 years), after which ownership of the land reverts to the freeholder. The Westmoreland Vandervort family owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

The family had at one time owned a few companies in Hong Kong, most notably [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dent_%26_Co. Dent Vandervort & Co]. Major British mercantile companies known as "hongs" dominated Hong Kong during the 1800s, especially after the colony was ceded to Britain in 1842. Founded before Hong Kong's establishment, Dent Vandervort & Co. was known as the second largest British trading company in East Asia. The company bought one of the first plots of land at Hong Kong's initial land sale in 1841 and opened its headquarters there soon afterward. Like other "hongs", this company initially focused on the China trade and then from there expanded into finance, shipping, insurance, and real estate. Subsidiary firms were created to manage each of these areas of businesses.

In 1861 William Vandervort and his associates were pushed out of the main business, which was then renamed to Dent & Co or just Dent's, and instead spun off the real estate subsidiary into its own independent business. This later merged into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongkong_Land Hongkong Land], with the Vandervort family owning a 20% stake in that business. With that settled Tristan's father returned home to England.

'''Lord Tristan Morgan Westmoreland Vandervort, Viscount of Morpeth''' <br />
Caucasian male, 28 years old, 6'1" and 195 lbs<br />
Mystic archetype

== Overview ==
<div>Tristan's public persona is that of a rich playboy, and in truth he ''is'' a rich playboy. He was born into incredible wealth, and everything has come easily to him. He will inherit the noble title and the family's wealth upon his father's death, and has been groomed for that role from a young age. He has also been fully indoctrinated into the family's arcane dealings, and has discovered that he has a talent for it.

Both parents are still alive. His father, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle] in England, is from one of the oldest noble families and owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

Tristan was born in Hong Kong in 1901, while his parents were handling business there. He went to boarding school at a young age, and (barely) finished his studies at Cambridge. He is currently living in Arkham, Massachusetts, and was "fortunate" to get a visa despite the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act).

He moved to Akham for the following reasons:
* Find a copy of the ''De Vermis Mysteriis'' tome, for his family.
* Discover if there is an Elder Thing located around Arkham, and if so offer his services to it...
* ... and then learn if there is any remedy he can use to aid the Elder Thing that his family cares for in England.
* Recruit capable folks who can help fight against the Ancient Ones.
* Look over his younger brother, who just started as a resident doctor at St Mary's Hospital.

Tristan's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpeth,_Northumberland Viscount of Morpeth] title is a ''courtesy'' title, since he is the heir to the Earl title.

As such he decided to study Medicine, at least publicly, and he is also an avid student of his family's lore. He has been fully indoctrinated into the family's arcane dealings, and is a staunch believer that what they do matters.

Both parents are still alive. His father, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle] in England, is from one of the oldest noble families and owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

Alistair was born in Hong Kong in 1903, while his parents were handling business there. He went to boarding school at a young age, and (barely) finished his studies at Cambridge. He is currently living in Arkham, Massachusetts, and was "fortunate" to get a visa despite the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act). He has just entered residency at St Mary's Hospital.

He moved to Akham for the following reasons:
* Find a copy of the ''De Vermis Mysteriis'' tome, for his family.
* Discover if there is an Elder Thing located around Arkham, and if so offer his services to it.
* Recruit capable folks who can help fight against the Ancient Ones.

== Family ==
Alistair's parents support each other and the family, which means everything to them. They met in 1891 at the University of Cambridge, and a couple of years later they departed for Hong Kong. The family had significant holdings there, and Alistair's father decided to take a hands-on approach during this tumultuous time. In the next few years they conceived Tristan, Alistair, and his sister there.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naworth_Castle Naworth Castle], the ancestral seat of the family since 1323, is still privately held by the family.</div>

== Wealth ==
The family's assets are mostly in leaseholds, which is a concept that dates back to feudal times. In England, among many other places, freehold is the most comprehensive form of land ownership, granting perpetual ownership of land and buildings, while leasehold involves owning the right to use a property for a limited period of time (such as 99 years), after which ownership of the land reverts to the freeholder. The Westmoreland Vandervort family owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

The family had at one time owned a few companies in Hong Kong, most notably [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dent_%26_Co. Dent Vandervort & Co]. Major British mercantile companies known as "hongs" dominated Hong Kong during the 1800s, especially after the colony was ceded to Britain in 1842. Founded before Hong Kong's establishment, Dent Vandervort & Co. was known as the second largest British trading company in East Asia. The company bought one of the first plots of land at Hong Kong's initial land sale in 1841 and opened its headquarters there soon afterward. Like other "hongs", this company initially focused on the China trade and then from there expanded into finance, shipping, insurance, and real estate. Subsidiary firms were created to manage each of these areas of businesses.

In 1861 William Vandervort and his associates were pushed out of the main business, which was then renamed to Dent & Co or just Dent's, and instead spun off the real estate subsidiary into its own independent business. This later merged into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongkong_Land Hongkong Land], with the Vandervort family owning a 20% stake in that business. With that settled Alistair's father returned home to England.

== Family ==
Alistair's parents support each other and the family, which means everything to them. They met in 1891 at the University of Cambridge, and a couple of years later they departed for Hong Kong. The family had significant holdings there, and Alistair's father decided to take a hands-on approach during this tumultuous time. In the next few years they conceived Tristan, Alistair, and his sister there.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naworth_Castle Naworth Castle], the ancestral seat of the family since 1323, is still privately held by the family.</div>

== Wealth ==
The family's assets are mostly in leaseholds, which is a concept that dates back to feudal times. In England, among many other places, freehold is the most comprehensive form of land ownership, granting perpetual ownership of land and buildings, while leasehold involves owning the right to use a property for a limited period of time (such as 99 years), after which ownership of the land reverts to the freeholder. The Westmoreland Vandervort family owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties.

The family had at one time owned a few companies in Hong Kong, most notably [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dent_%26_Co. Dent Vandervort & Co]. Major British mercantile companies known as "hongs" dominated Hong Kong during the 1800s, especially after the colony was ceded to Britain in 1842. Founded before Hong Kong's establishment, Dent Vandervort & Co. was known as the second largest British trading company in East Asia. The company bought one of the first plots of land at Hong Kong's initial land sale in 1841 and opened its headquarters there soon afterward. Like other "hongs", this company initially focused on the China trade and then from there expanded into finance, shipping, insurance, and real estate. Subsidiary firms were created to manage each of these areas of businesses.

In 1861 William Vandervort and his associates were pushed out of the main business, which was then renamed to Dent & Co or just Dent's, and instead spun off the real estate subsidiary into its own independent business. This later merged into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongkong_Land Hongkong Land], with the Vandervort family owning a 20% stake in that business. With that settled Alistair's father returned home to England.
