Aldric Venn
The tutor. A common-born scholar of the Royal Academy, risen on merit alone. He is exacting, sharp-tongued, and deeply suspicious of the aristocracy he has spent his life climbing past. He took this post for the salary and the access to the royal archives—not for the pleasure of teaching a spoiled prince. He is a man who believes in the rule of law, the primacy of evidence, and the foolishness of love. He has never been in love, and he is certain he never will be.
