Family
Mother - Lara Seer (Deceased)
Blackwater Harbourmaster
Parents originally from Southern Rhak, they travelled to Tide in early youth. Formidable and kind woman, strict yet well liked harbourmaster of Blackwater Bay. Died (when L was 17) aged 62 during outbreak of Morska flu.
Father - Benjamin Farmhold
Notary (Retired)
Born in Blackwater and schooled in Pauviel, returned to Blackwater after the death of his parents in a house fire. Quiet, shy man, retired due to deteriorating vision. An avid writer of fiction, now dictates stories with help of an assistant.
Childhood
An only child, born to parents late in their life. Grew up around Blackwater harbour, always on and off the boats, in good humour with the sailors.
As a teenager bought an old Keelboat with best friend Barton Stacey. They would go out every evening looking for mermaids. Stacey was lost overboard when out alone one evening hunting mermaids, the boat was found empty and Stacey presumed dead. L remains hopeful of Stacey's survival yet suspicious of Merfolk.
