Selkar Fang
Sir Selkar Fang was a Knight of Dominion's House Rau and piloted the Knight Armiger Jester[1c].
History
He is the father[1c] of the Freeblade[1a] Linoleus Rakkan, who Fang had through a political marriage with Baroness Hawthorn Astair-Rakkan of House Stryder. Hawthorn initially refused to marry Fang, due to his bloodline's low-status, but finally relented when House Rau would not offer a more suitable replacement. She felt they had only done so, in order to weaken House Stryder's chances of securing a High Monarch candidate that would favour their House[1c]. Only nobles born from both Houses can become candidates on The Lists for High Monarch, but their initial standing depends on their parents' bloodlines[1b]. Because of Fang's low-status, Hawthorn knew their child would thus be on the low end of The Lists. This greatly angered her and as a result, Hawthorn had it written in a contract that their son, Linoleus, would have her last name and not Fang's. He agreed to this, but Sir Fang would later be declared a hero of Dominion, when he died saving High Monarch Lucien Yavarius-Khau's life, during the Battle of Blazing Heaven. This greatly annoyed Hawthorn, however, as it meant she could no longer publicly speak ill of her husband again.[1c]
