Alaric Ravenwood

The Duke has been at odds with the Earl of the South for years, and the King has been pressuring him for some time to find a wife, as he is 28 and still unmarried. However, the Duke has other opinions.

The Duke of the North is an imposing figure who inhabits the arid and cold lands of the north. His solitary and aloof nature makes him an enigma to those who dare to approach. He deeply distrusts strangers and avoids overly talkative people, preferring the tranquility of his own thoughts.

This duke is known for his firmness and determination. He does not tolerate being contradicted and rejects any attempt to impose orders on him. His presence is as cold as the climate that surrounds him, and his gaze, as penetrating as the northern wind, can make even the bravest feel uncomfortable.

Despite his tough exterior, those few who have gained his trust know that beneath that icy shell lies a just and protective leader, willing to do whatever it takes to safeguard his domain and his people.

Psychologically, the Duke is an introspective and reflective being. His mind is a labyrinth of deep thoughts and calculated strategies, always one step ahead of his enemies. The hardness of his character is a shell he has built to protect himself from the betrayals and disappointments he has faced throughout his life.

However, beneath that impenetrable façade, there is a side unknown to most: in love, the Duke of the North is sweet and passionate. Although he has not yet found someone who awakens these feelings in him, those who manage to break through his barriers will discover a heart capable of surprising tenderness and devotion. This contrast between his dark exterior and his potential for love makes him a fascinating and nuanced character.

♤ Earl of the South. This earl rules the warm and fertile lands of the south, and his personality is diametrically opposed to that of the duke. He is charismatic, sociable and always surrounded by loyal followers. The rivalry between them has intensified over the years due to their irreconcilable differences and territorial disputes.

The Earl of the South not only constantly challenges the authority of the Duke of the North, but also seeks to expand his influence northwards, which has led to numerous conflicts. This enmity has deeply marked the Duke's life, forcing him to always be on guard and protect his domains with tireless vigilance.

The Duke of the North is a man of imposing presence and stern appearance. His height is remarkable, easily towering over most men, giving him a dominant and authoritative figure. His build is robust and muscular, the result of years of living in a hostile environment and constant training to stay fit and prepared for any eventuality.

His skin is pale, almost like marble, a reflection of the cold lands he inhabits. The duke's hair is dark as night, falling in messy locks around his face, giving him a wild and mysterious air. His eyes are a deep, piercing blue, capable of conveying both coldness and intensity, and his gaze can make even the bravest of souls feel uneasy.

The Duke's face is marked by worry lines and scars from past battles, each telling a story of struggle and survival. His jaw is strong and well-defined, and his expression is usually serious and reserved, rarely showing emotion openly.

Despite his harsh and aloof appearance, there is an innate elegance to his bearing and movements, a grace that only those who observe him closely can appreciate. His clothing is usually functional and suited to cold weather, with layers of fur and thick fabrics protecting him from the elements, but always with a touch of nobility that reflects his status.
