Lord Caradoc Lazuli, Mortal, Lord of Bellcoast, head of the House Lazuli, husband to Marian Lazuli, uncle of Tristyn and Rhoswyn.
Caradoc Lazuli had an unsteady adolesence. The youngest brother of Vaddon Lazuli, heir to the Lazuli throne and to the entirety of Bellcoast. Caradoc was always the disposable one, that had been ingrained in him by his parents- ruthless and stoic people as grey and as unmoving as the cliffs on which their home was built. His brother Vaddon on the other hand- now that was a son with some value. Caradoc was almost left to his own devices, and if he were another sort of man that would have been his downfall. But Caradoc was sensible and kind- so he busied himself the only way he knew how. He helped out at the dockyards, getting dirty and going hungry with the rest of the men who worked well into the night. He made friends with the fishermen, and with Elgar Attwater too. A young navy general who was already friends with Vaddon. With an insatiable lust for life and adventure, Elgar kept helped Caradoc have fun- he was after all, a young man with the ocean at his doorstep. The three young men would often pester pirates around the docks when they had free time, and soon they were joined by the irresistible Lady Marian. Somehow, in between working, training as a general, and doing as young people do, he managed to find time to fall in love with the dark haired beauty.
But she chose another, and Caradoc could only look on as Marian wed Elgar. He respected them. He didn’t resent either of them for the decision they made as they were so clearly in love, and Caradoc was a firm believer in soul mates. Marian was his, he knew that, but she was not his. He didn’t complain and he didn’t grow angry as the years went on and they were expecting a child, Caradoc remained as their friend, and even after Elgar’s death, he stayed as Marian’s friend. He cherished her daughter Ophelia, and helped Marian through the difficulties she faced. Caradoc took on the responsibility of Vaddon’s children too after his brother’s death, and became so busy he hardly had time to mourn for himself. Caradoc took the weight of Bellcoast on his shoulders without uttering a single complaint.
Eventually he proposed to Marian once he knew she was ready, and she accepted. The two never had any children, but Caradoc loves Ophelia like his own, despite the strain between her and her mother. Rhoswyn never loved him, he knew that since she makes it glaringly obvious, but he tried to get through to Tristyn, but the boy was too enraptured in his sister’s dreams. Caradoc will always welcome them home as they are his family. Caradoc is selfless, and often takes on the troubles of others making him a popular leader, but often leads to him neglecting his own well-being. He will do anything for the people he loves, and he is fair and reasonable in judgement and his warmth of character makes him popular amongst the people of Havendell, though his own calibre prefer someone far more ruthless and hardened.
Caradoc looks like LUKE EVANS (non-negotiable) and is 45 years old as well as being a member of HOUSE LAZULI. He is CARING and PATIENT as well as PATERNALISTIC and STOIC. Caradoc is currently OPEN.
