Henry Surrata-Spellvig

    Henry Surrata-Spellvig is a naval officer in training from a cadet branch of House Surrata from the outskirts of Cape Spellward. As a junior member of one of Senera's most prominent noble houses, he seeks to establish his own legacy despite being far from the main line of succession.

    Physical Appearance 🔗

    Henry's mixed Seneran and Kalassarian heritage is evident in his features. His Seneran ancestry shows in his reddish-brown hair and fair complexion, while his Kalassarian blood manifests in his straight nose and defined jawline. Standing at only 5'6", he is notably shorter than most of his naval peers, a source of personal frustration that likely contributes to his ambitious nature.

    Despite his small stature, he carries himself with practiced military bearing, always standing straight-backed and rigid when in uniform. His naval attire is meticulously maintained, from his polished brass buttons to his precisely pressed creases, reflecting both his position and his desire to project authority.

    When not in his naval uniform, Henry favors the latest fashions popular among Senera's young nobility. He particularly gravitates toward well-tailored doublets in rich materials and colors that emphasize his military posture, though these choices sometimes border on ostentatious for a cadet branch member of his station.

    Position 🔗

    Currently training as an officer in the Seneran Royal Navy, Henry represents a cadet branch of House Surrata based near Cape Spellward. Despite his noble lineage, his branch of the family holds relatively little influence compared to the main line.

    Character 🔗

    Ambitious and impetuous, he does what he must to bring himself up in the estimation of his family and his peers. He is able to, as they say, sell sawdust to a carpenter when he tries to convince someone of his path forward, except when he's in front of his father and his uncles.

    However, at times his need for validation from his peers drives him to make hasty decisions. For example, he was convinced by his friends to attempt to secure his future by approaching the dying Lord Marthur Malthren to be named as his heir. While his mother's spy, serving as his aide, attempted to dissuade him from this potentially dangerous endeavor, Henry persisted in his plans, though he did heed the advice to hire mercenary protection for the journey.

    Relationships 🔗

    Henry maintains a complex relationship with his aide, who secretly reports to Henry's mother about his activities. While the aide attempts to guide and protect him, Henry often dismisses these concerns in pursuit of his ambitions.
