Griffin Muckley, Earl of Windsor, was known as the golden child in his early years; he was born fair-haired and with an unearthly light emanating from his eyes. The Earl was originally groomed for a high position in the church, but was terribly injured during a hunting “accident.” The Earl has always been fond of ocelot hunts, and during an especially spirited hunt the earl was thrown from his faithful steed and into a wild fox den. His horse had been surprised when his twin brother, Reginald, fired a dart into the flank of the beast; the horse took fright and bucked the Earl. After the “accident” the Earl was never the same. He discovered his brother’s treachery and banished him from the kingdom; the Earlcontinues to rule Windsor with an iron fist and the region has never seen a time of greater prosperity, the streets are literally being repaved with gold. Because he can no longer hunt, the Earl dabbles in writing, poetry mostly, and sends some of his work to the Knight Errant.
