The Mason-Kennit family's current patriarch is Robert Mason-Kennit, a short, paunchy man of sixty-one. He inherited a small piece of land that has been traditionally in the Mason-Kennit family for generations and was once a proud and noble name. It fell to decline over the course of time, with the patriarchs becoming more and more concerned with landscaping and scholarly affairs than fielding an army and fighting for the realm.

Always loyal and ready to pay taxes and tributes, the family nevertheless spent a majority of their efforts and time in education, religious studies, and tilling the land. A small number of peasants and loyal retainers work the Mason-Kennit lands, providing a steady income and lovely view, but wealth is far from guaranteed.

Robert Mason-Kennit's wife, Lisen Mason-Kennit, was a petit, blond woman who died during complications in child-birth. After her death, Robert Mason-Kennit withdrew even further into his library and emerged only to do light gardening and to sleep. He continued to take his meals in the library and the land, and estate, started to fall into disrepair.

The family's most loyal retainer, Lewin, was left to guide and train the children of the Mason-Kennit family. The oldest of the children is Davis Mason-Kennit (Mason-Kennit Family/Davis). Davis proved to be a competent hunter and tracker and was eager to regain the family name, honour, and fortune. Although Robert intended for Davis to continue a life of education and, then, religious devotion, Davis rebuffed him, eventually claiming a small share of family money to hire a small troop and set off to serve the Realm of Abington. Lewin accompanied Davis, to ensure guidance and offer advice.

Other children of the Mason-Kennit family are Jodi Mason-Kennit, the only daughter, and Panter Mason-Kennit, a young, rash boy. Little is yet known about them, due to their shelter by orders of Robert Mason-Kennit and their age.
