Penelope
Penelope is their daughter and only child. While Emmeline appears to be the more strict parent and wants Penelope to be strong and shrewd in court politics, Landon has a soft spot for her and realizes the pressures she feels.

In The Royal Heir, Book 3, Chapter 2, it is revealed that Barthelemy used Penelope as leverage to secure Portavira's vote against you in his attempt to gain custody of your daughter. Landon and Emmeline agree to vote in Barthelemy's favor in exchange for keeping information quiet that would ruin Penelope's wedding to Ezekial if it were made public.

Your Character
Your Character is presented with the task in Book 3, to get both their approval to convince them to attend her wedding. In The Royal Heir series, Landon is part of the Royal Council.

At the end of Book 2, he votes against you and your spouse in the Conventus Nobilis. In Book 3, you discover that he is being blackmailed by Barthelemy Beaumont and his "assistant", Guy Brixton, Penelope's ex-husband. When you convince Penelope to speak up about her past, Barthelemy loses leverage over Landon and Landon tells you that he will support you and your spouse in the final vote.
