Baerth Caltaris

King Baerth Caltaris is the current ruler of the kingdom of Armathain, and the head of the Caltaris royal family. He was born into an extension of the royal family, but his parents had it arranged for him to marry Coelwynn, convincing her parents that she would be a weak leader on her own and that Baerth was the right fit to take the throne.

Baerth is harsh and critical, and fiercely defensive of his family and their honor. He isn't one to form close relationships with people, and seems more interested in business and what people can do to help him. Thus, he is pretty distant from his children and family. His temper can be explosive at times.

Before marrying Coelwynn, Baerth was a brave and strong warrior, and battle was his passion. He still takes this very seriously, taking it upon himself to personally train the heads of his own armies.

Parents
Elgan Caltaris. Father. Had a strange, uncomfortable relationship with him growing up, starting out with wanting to please him and growing into wanting to outdo him. Wishes they had grown closer before his death.

Ariana Caltaris. Mother. Strained relationship. She was far too critical and demanding.

Spouse
Coelwynn Caltaris. Loves her dearly, but wouldn't reveal that in public. Treats her gently and lovingly, but tries to distance himself when around others, as if loving her makes him weak. She controls his temper.
