Aelric Harren Vale

Overview

Aelric Harren Vale is a young half-elf noble whose family holds power in the three points trading post in Meriquy and funds the local watchtower. He is entitled, cruel, and used to getting his way through status and intimidation.

Quick Facts

Appearance & Manner

Aelric carries himself with practiced arrogance: theatrical gestures, a sneer never far away, and a habit of giving orders as if obedience is a law of nature. He is quick to smirk, quicker to threaten, and most dangerous when he realises fear will not work.

Personality

• Entitled: treats people as possessions, problems, or entertainment.
• Vindictive: escalates when challenged or embarrassed.
• Predatory: uses isolation, power, and intimidation to corner those with less protection.

Role in the Story

Aelric targets Suraia and Vasha in a back-alley confrontation, demanding gold and bringing others to enforce his will. When resisted, he turns violent and attempts to take what he wants by force. The incident becomes more than a street altercation: Aelric leverages his family’s influence to push an arrest request through the watchtower, reframing himself as the victim and the Outcasts as criminals.

Known Associates

• Jory — a nervous servant who follows Aelric’s orders.
• Rostan — a burly human guard/enforcer.
• Lareth — wood-elf youth, an adolescent hanger-on drawn to trouble and one of Aelric’s companions.
