Maer Alveron

Also known as the Maer

• Major
• First seen · Book 2 · Ch. 49

A tall thin older Vintish nobleman with greying full thick hair that shines like a silver crown when lit and a well-trimmed salt-and-pepper beard with almost no black remaining. His serious proud face is dominated by clear clever piercing grey eyes that do not belong to an old man. Immaculately groomed he wears flawless creamy ivory shirts and vibrant sapphire waistcoats or stiff jackets in his house colors with a single gold signet ring appearing distinguished and authoritative whether standing straight in the gardens or seated in finery.
