Description

The second youngest of Harold Godwins, (Lord of the Barley Manor), children to his late first wife.  Tristram is little more than a year older than his sister Midwinter, finding himself preferring his own company to that of others, (more so following his mothers death),  he was very watchful, sitting quietly in the background and used his intelligence to learn about the manor and the estate, taking in every little detail he knows all the ins and outs of it better than anyone.

Tristram found he enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the village more than the manor house, spending time in particular with Auden the witches beast keeper with whom he had a lot in common. Empathic and thoughtful,  he became a much sort after confidant amongst the villagers.

Of his family, Tristram is closest to Midwinters his younger sister, he tends to look out for the somewhat dower young girl, he will follow her anywhere to help see that she comes to no harm given her passion for combat.

Like Midwinter, Tristram suffers from the curse all his siblings born of his mother do, although not to the same ghostly level as Midwinter, his  hair is almost white and skin very pale but his blue eyes give a sparkle, his intelligent looks are agreeable and for all his shyness, people find him easy to be with.

Tristram suffered greatly from her mothers death and is prone to melancholic, preferring to spend time reading about the past, his favourite stories are the tales of strange beast that once roamed the land of men. He has few friends apart from Auden and his sister, but he is touched by the spirit world and can see and on occasions communicate with ghosts, indeed, a ghost of one of his own ancestors has given a grave warning of dark days to come and he knows about his Great Grandfathers wars against the Imperial city.  Tristram sees the danger from the men of the south to his homeland.
