Duke Piera Velasquez

Only surviving heir of Nerino, Piera is a hotheaded young man who takes grave offence at any slurs against the good name of his Family (of which there are many, the Velasquez are not liked). He is somewhat lacking in political ambition, to the despair of his father. Was forced into the position of Captain of the High Guard after the murder of his brother and the death of Tarquin Velasquez.

The Duke apparent after the death of his father, his succession has since been confirmed with his marriage to Duchess Karla Velasquez-D'Artois. Since his marriage he has also been showing substantially more political acumen then he ever did previously, and no-one is under any illusions that this new found competence is coming from anywhere but his new wife.
