Emery Beaumont
Emery is Percival's sibling. Emery's gender is dependant on your gender preferences. Percival says Emery has a reputation among the Beaumonts as a sort of "philosopher". Although he sometimes believes Emery's great wit clouds their judgement, he allows Emery to choose a suitor and doesn't protest when Cyrus Vescovi becomes Emery's fiance. Because he believes in honor, he respects Emery's wishes so long as they do not prohibit a better future for House Beaumont.

Your Character
You can gain his favor by speaking about the law. In Chapter 3, he offers you a dagger sharpened by his House's magical charm, the Warrior's Stone. He also appreciates you helping him and Theodosia out of the trap they set off. He offers his sibling, Emery, as a potential suitor for you. In Chapter 4, if you have Emery bring up Cyrus to Percival's attention, he apologizes for offering you Emery as a suitor since he was unaware. If asked to not side with House Vescovi, he remains impartial and states that he sees House Beaumont and House Vescovi as equals and cannot or will not predict the future. Although he has much respect for your House, Emery's betrothal causes House Beaumont to ally with House Vescovi and he would not go against that.
