Desire & Decorum Miscellaneous Characters

Harry
When you meet your father for the first time, he mentions that you had a brother named Harry, who passed away last year. He was thrown from a horse during a hunting trip. He was your father's only heir before he knew of you, and was the brother you share with Mr. Marlcaster. He was also engaged to Miss Parsons before his death. In Chapter 3, Miss Parsons tells you they were inseparable when they were younger and in Chapter 5, she says they were fond of each other, even if they weren't in love. Countess Henrietta doesn't like speaking about him. According to Mr. Marlcaster, Harry used to call Duke Richards the King of Braggarts.

In Book 2, Chapter 7, Miss Parsons tells you that she and Harry would sneak out of balls together and play "people-watching" when they couldn't stand the small talk with neighboring barons. This was, of course, unbeknownst to the Countess. In Chapter 8, she tells you that she, Harry and Mr. Marlcaster used to go hunting together, but Harry was the only one of them to shoot for meat. In Chapter 15's premium scene, the late Earl of Edgewater had told Bishop Monroe that he tried to protect Harry, that he didn't even want Harry to go on the hunt, but he still couldn't save him.



Prince Regent
Your father shows you a letter he is going to send the Prince Regent (also known as the Prince of Wales and the Right Honorable Lord Bishop of Canterbury). He declares you his daughter by blood and wants you recognized as Lady of Edgewater. At Mr. Sinclaire's London townhouse, Mr. Marlcaster says Harry was not afraid to introduce himself directly to the Prince Regent.

In Book 2, Duke Richards works to overthrow the Prince Regent. In Chapter 2, if you ask Briar about the Prince Regent, she says the gossip around him is that he is probably off galavanting with a mistress.



Horse 2
This is another one of the horses in Luke Harper's care. In Chapter 10, a similar looking horse named Diamond races at the tracks.

Baron Cosman
After the performance has concluded, a nobleman appears and speaks to the Duke, pulling him away from you and Miss Parsons for a short time. He reappears in Book 2, Chapter 8, accompanying Duke Richards on the grouse hunt. You do not learn his name until Book 2, Chapter 12 when you overhear Duke Richards speaking to a group of noblemen in the Great Baths.

She had an affair with Duke Richards, for which he cast her away, only to take her back when the Duke refused to acknowledge her. She died in childbirth.

Five years after your mother and father's marriage was annulled, he wrote to your mother and gave her fifty pounds in an effort for him to cease her writing; he threatened her that he would do worse if she kept writing. Because of all this, Vincent refuses to hang his portrait in the Edgewater gallery. In Book 2, Chapter 16 Dominique reveals that their wedding was a political arrangement.

Luke's Father
On your way back to Edgewater, Mr. Harper tells you about his late father. He had become ill while Luke was fighting overseas.
