Baron Esper
Baron Esper is one of the two most powerful nobles under Count Hue. He rules over the Port District in Hueport , and holds the Tower Keep on the east road to the city.
The Baron is a straightforward man. He's a former knight, promoted to Baron for is excellent military service in the last war with the high elves. He rules as he lives, simply and directly. He as little patience for the minutia of trade deals and long negotiations, so he continues to live in the tower he held as a knight, just to the east of Hueport. He delegates most of his economic responsibilities to Dockmaster Jayce Cooper , giving the traders and dock managers more freedom to act as they see fit, but done little to alleviate the suffering of the many poor in his district. He also employs Court Wizard Bevom Shorsk as his primary aide and protector against magical threats.
Count Hue hold Baron Esper in very high esteem, both because he is a trustworthy and honorable man he can rely on to support Hueport, and because he is a direct straightforward man whom he can predict and outmaneuver if necessary. While the Baron's severe personality can be grating, and his stubborn commitment to his duty can be difficult, the Count will choose the problems he can see coming every time, and that's what Baron Esper offers him the most.
