Duke Eldred Thrussell

Duke Eldred Thrussell serves as Lord High Admiral to Richard II and acts as Lord Mayor of Agrawel, making him one of the most important courtiers in the aristocracy. Eldred governs Agrawel and the surrounding province and serves on the Council of the Crown. As Lord High Admiral, Eldred commands the Royal Navy and presides over the duties of the admiralty, equivalent to the Constable. The admiral oversees finance, supervision of accounts, shipbuilding and maintenance of ships, and record of business. However, House Thrussell is altogether greatly diminished in power and Eldred lives ever on in the shadow of House Arvendon. Perhaps that is why Eldred shows so little of the decorum and pretentiousness Noslith has come to expect of its nobility.

When the party sought out the Duke of Agrawel to swear upon their oath, he asked that they spy upon his wife, Lady Kwenthrith, at the royal ball to learn the identity of her latest lover. The heroes informed Eldred of Riordan's name and vampiric countenance, and Eldred agreed to swear upon their oath, although the party expressed concern about Kwenthrith's safety and Riordan's apparent vampirism. In the weeks after, Eldred fell ill of the plague as his heir and son died and was returned to him. Eldred demanded that Elric marry his betrothed before his own death, yet the Duke died before Lady Rayne could be taken back to Agrawel, leaving  the throne to his son.
