The second son to the late Baron Tredegar, Iwan Morgan did as any second son should and found a worthy career in the military. Having had his commission purchased for him at the tender age of seventeen, he has spent roughly half of his life in the British Army. It was to the army he gave his health, his leg, and his eyesight, and it is now the army that has set him aside, citing the sacrifices he has made. Now Iwan had returned to London a hero, according to his discharge paperwork and the medals upon his breast. What life is there for a crippled war hero without a war to fight? This is a question that he struggles to answer. For now he fills his time with whores and any substance that allows him to forget the horrors he has witnessed and participated in.
Alistair Campbell
Played by Levi
The newly-minted Duke of Argyll is best known for the length of time he’s spent away from his homeland. Always known to be a restless soul, Alistair has traveled much of the known world, and a fair bit of the unknown, too. The death of his father five years ago never reached his ever-wandering ears, until he returned home in the fall of 1887 and was informed of his father’s accident and subsequent death. To meet his family’s expectations, he has set aside his wandering ways and now sets his mind to finding a wife and tending to his responsibilities as duke.
Maximilian von Habsburg-Lorraine
Played by Levi
The irrepressible second son to Austro-Hungary’s ruling family, Max has long dodged the worst of his family and government’s machinations and expectations purely by the good luck of [i]not[/i] being his (crown prince) brother. As archduke he still has expectations aplenty, and he has more or less met those expectations. He has no intentions of ever ruling himself, and has made no secret of it, though he has never abdicated his position. The many previous efforts to arrange a dynastic marriage have all been flat-out denied, which has resulted in his most recent trip to London – ostensibly in the hope of finding a vaguely suitable wife, but realistically to put a few thousand miles between himself and his suffocating familial expectations.
Luc Wynn
Played by Levi
Youngest son of a Welsh baron, Luc was always destined to be one of three things: A military man, an academic, or a priest. With his compassionate nature and personal desire to see all wrongs righted, and a true devotion to the words of Christ, there was only one real option for him. Having spent the last five years as an ordained curate in the East End, his newest promotion to assistant to the Bishop of London has given him a bit of culture shock. Back among the well-to-do of the city, cognizant of his status as protégé to an important man, Luc is doing his best to serve his family, the Church, and God.
