Brimford

From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire

Viscount Brimford, also sometimes known as Lászlo.

An Easterner and extremely skilled witch who has two familiars, Awtlá and Sireng, which appears to be a unique situation. (They are also his Soulmates.) After proving his value during the restoration of the Dragaeran Empire, Zerika the Fourth granted him his imperial title, also unusual for an Easterner.

He and Zerika were lovers before she became Empress, and reunited after she had recovered the Orb.

He had renounced the name Lászlo by the time of The Viscount of Adrilankha, during which he was known as "The Warlock". Practitioners of "The Art", that is, witchcraft, are sometimes obliged to go on a quest for a name and soulmate, and though he'd found his soulmates (his familiars), he had not found a name until after his important role in the ninth (or tenth) Battle of Dzur Mountain, in gratitude for which he was granted the title of Brimford by the Empress. He immediately adopted that as his name, though Zerika continues to call him Lászlo in her private capacity.

It should be noted that Vlad's chat with Zerika about her lover Lászlo takes place over 240 years after Zerika became Empress. Brimford is therefore unnaturally long-lived for an Easterner, perhaps aided by his witchcraft (as Arra was).
