Tall, handsome, and still very fit despite his advancing age, Nicolaus stands a head taller than most.

Popular, brave, and practical, the baron speaks his mind and believes in straightforward action rather than political solutions. He’s a hard-working man who often rolls up his sleeves to help his subjects.

“Nicolaus Okerra is the baron of a stretch of villages in the eastern portion of the county of Meratt, and he is a local hero of the people. Popular as much for his good looks as for his fair policies, he has slain several terrible beasts and helped organize community improvement projects like irrigation, roadwork, and wells, often rolling up his sleeves and chipping in with the manual labor.

His staunch loyalty to order prevents him from standing against or even impugning the Lotheed family for their negligence, and instead he hopes to inspire his lackadaisical neighbors to action by showing the benefits of hard work and organizing charity for their peasants in lean times.

He is a widower, of his late wife, Nirvenna, who ruled the barony in his stead during his military career.”
