Maxwell Beaumont
Bertrand is Maxwell's older brother. Bertrand is constantly belittling and yelling at him whenever he makes mistakes, though this is mainly due to financial stress. According to Maxwell, Bertrand used to be a polite, fun loving, and caring brother.

In The Royal Heir, if Maxwell is your spouse, he tells you that he tried to talk Bertrand into a stag-and-doe party (like what you did for your bachelorette), but Bertrand did not want a hazardous limb flailing at the party.
