Farquar, Lord Lagoran

Born: 3467

As a young man Lord Farquar had a reputation for being a rake, a fop, and for being a general all round-debauched ne'er-do-well. He had a reputation for carousing, whoring, and gambling, facts that are all the more understandable, as one of his boyhood friends was Drostin Anderon. But even after Drostin had left Aquila, Lord Farquar continued taking drink, opium, and had a reputation for both murder and rapine. Of course this did not only earn him the disgust of the well-mannered Aquilans, but also a certain attractive roguishness that is particular to malcontents.

After the death of his father, Lord Jolyon Lagoran, Farquar became master of all he surveyed and these activities continued - the name Lagoran became a byword for all that was evil and debauched, a reputation that remains with him today.

As Lord of House Lagoran: Far from being the mindless painted fop that people believed, Lagoran possessed a reptilian cunning and an astute grasp of Aquilan politics and economics - traits that had been honed down the generations in the Lagoran family. The House trait is prudence, and so with Lord Lagoran, he plays the game, slowly, taking each move forward or set back as just another twist in the overall competition. He likes games, he likes to play.

Motivations: Lagoran wants to rule Aquila, if not him, then the Lagoran family, and despite what you may have read in the history about Lagoran, this has been the long-term aim of the family since they bought - yes bought - the name and title of Lagoran. Lord Lagoran's legacy to his family will be to position it such that it will one day be in position to control the coronet, directly or indirectly.

His marriage to Nira was a stunning political coup for Lagoran, and he has been able to influence the upbringing of Decuma Anderon Maun. Again, he is close to one of the 'darker' Anderons.

His declaration of his sister Morine as his heir was due to the fact that Lord Lagoran is unable to reproduce, he is the last in his line, and "Unless my damn sister breeds," he is aware that House Lagoran ends with his death. Of course the inability to produce children was a positive boon in his wild youth, where he could make love with no worry of a bastard appearing at his door, however, as he gets older, the serious consequences of this situation have hit home. Unless Morine has a child, all the work of Lagorans down the centuries is lost.
