Crispin Athelstan

Crispin is the second son of Arcadius Athelstan, but inherited the lordship of Copper Run after his father was stripped of his title and executed. He rules the lordship now with the help of a regent, Kenton Benedict. When he was seven, Crispin was watching the local smiths. Arcadius allowed Crispin to help him at the family forge, when he was eight, and was made his uncle Valerius' apprentice at the age of nine. However, the apprenticeship has been interrupted by his recent inheritance of the title of Lord Copper Run. Crispin has been sent to Gateway Isle by the regent ostensibly for his protection and so that he can learn from his fellow nobles.

Timeline goes here.

While physically he takes after his mother, Crispin is his father's son, when it comes to his personality. He loves exploring mines and caverns, blacksmithing, women, and ale, not necessarily in that order. Swimming is another one of his hobbies, and he can usually be found at the beach or the baths, depending on the season, during the afternoon or evening, taking a dip.

Crispin is less extroverted than his father and sister. However, he is as trusting, if not more, to the point of being naive. His jovial nature results in friendly greetings and nods to even those he is shy to talk to. The young lord has lofty and somewhat unrealistic ideals on what it means to be a Guardian and he generally tries and fails to live up to those ideals.
