Lord Byron Weathermay is the eldest lord and patriarch of the Weathermay family, the ruling house of Mordentshire-by-the-Sea. His wife, Katherine, passed away many years ago, as did his eldest daughter, Estelle. Of his immediate family, only his youngest daughter, Virginia, remains. He lives for her safety and happiness, shamelessly doting her.
He and Virginia dwell at the Weathermay family estate, Heather House, which overlooks Mordentshire. At the time of Storm of Souls, Lord Byron was also entertaining his friends, the Fielders, and the family of his younger brother, Henry, including his nephew, Calvin.
Byron, along with his brother, Henry, were adventurers in their day. As a result of an adventuring wound, Byron is paralyzed from the waist down and must spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
