Eric Runeshire
Eric Runeshire, the 20-year-old third child of Duke Richard Runeshire and his first "love-child" with Candice Darby, is a formidable brute in stature. Due to his birth outside the ducal marriage, he is ineligible for the Ducal Court, a fact that fuels a simmering grudge within him despite living comfortably within the opulent Runeshire Manor and taking every advantage of his father's vast wealth. As a child, he was often a bully to Crystal. Now, grown, he is frequently seen training with the guards near the barracks, channeling his lingering resentment into physical prowess, a constant reminder of the position he believes he was denied.
