Gérard de Marais

"A heavyset, bearded man sits on a thronelike chair. His dark hair is shot with white, and his eyes are yellow-green. Rings gleam on his fingers; talismans adorn his fox-trimmed robe. A wolf-eared coronet sits upon his brow."

Gérard de Marais is the hereditary Prince of New Averoigne and Count of Malinbois. He is considered by adventurers to be one of the more hands-off rulers among the Princes Thaumaturge; he wants adventurers to come and destroy the various monsters that still lurk in his territory, so he exacts no taxes on loot won from dungeons and lairs.
