Galantos Family/Bufort

"The sweat of hard labour stings my tired eyes. Do pass the ale..."

Bufort is the more cosmopolitan cousin to Lexington (heir to the titles and holdings of the Galantos family) and Montague. As a young boy, his uncle Tarkas sent Bufort abroad to study (and get him out of the family manor.)

While travelling, Bufort discovered "wine, women, and song", and squandered much of his time on fancy clothes, beer, and wenches. By the time he came of age, Bufort realized that his Uncle's financial support would soon end unless he became either a monk, or a leader of men.

He is commonly known as "Ashen Bufo" to his friends, for his striking grey eyes, and the grey clothes he typically wears. Bufort is handsome and lean, with a knowing smirk and spritely eyes. It is entirely likely that Bufort is drunk most waking hours, and he tries to bed down a girl (or two) at least five times a week. He fears marriage, sobriety, and virtuous women, and makes a habit of leaving bastard children and empty wine-casks behind wherever he goes.

Bufort's personal banner is a black sword on a grey field, with burgandy chevron. He is exceptionally handy with a rapier, and loves to train his swordfighting almost as much as he loves filthy sex and being blind-drunk. Secretly, he worships at the altar of Segarre, the "Saint of Knaves", but he would never admit so in public, and often degrades religion .

Bufort has travelled extensively, fighting at times for Carelia, Ashborn, and Enweil. His sarcastic demeanour has made him much despised (and much loved) among other nobles.

He currently is working as a troublemaker for his home realm of Eston.
