Byron Avengene

Marquis Byron Avengene was a powerful noble in the Kingdom of Clairmont.

He came from a relatively young baronial family, but one that was related to other nobility. He was an aggressive and capable general and politician. He was born some time between 642 and 652. His father, a northern baron, was killed by the orcs, which angered Byron, and started him on his aggressive career as a warlord. Subsequently, Byron Avengene, then a Baron, expanded his holdings and proved indispensable to the King of Clairmont during border wars about around year 697; as a result the king made Avengene a Marquis.

He was ruthless and pragmatic. After his son, Reverend Evangeline Avengene, made the worship of the Vindicator the favored religion in the Marquisate of Avengene, Byron Avengene became adept at using the Church of the Vindicator as both the reason for his aggression, and an extension of his forces.

After Brianna Barter killed Evangeline (to stop his rapes), Byron Avengene persecuted Brianna, declaring her a wanted murderer and killing her family.

Family
Marquis Avengene had four children, and a number of grandchildren, many participated in his efforts to enlarge his holdings.
