Winterrowd

==

As one of Lyrabar's great noble families, the Winterrowds rose to prominence through the wool, cotton, silk and textile/materials trade. Renata's deceased grandfather, John Reegan Winterrowd, was an extremely shrewd and ambitious man. Through sheer will, incredible good fortune and clever strategic partnerships, employment and marriages he made good on many of his ventures, amassing a powerful fortune. At the time of his death, he had begun the establishment of a family banking system that utilized and generated family wealth while his and his son's strategic investments created a certain indebtedness amongst his "betters".

====His son John Barrow Winterrowd, Renata's father, had all his father's ambition and cleverness as well as a shrewd hand for management. John stabilized his father's power, expanded weak partnerships and strengthened the family's banking business. The family's star rose. John Barrow had his pick of Lyrabar society but, when it came time to marry, he chose an unconventional yet beautiful wife outside of the Lyrabar aristocracy much to his father's surprise and disapproval. Very little is known about his wife, Bellasiel, Renata's mother, except that she is elvish, exceptionally beautiful, and whimsical. Like her youngest daughter, she has little interest in the trappings of Lyrabar society. ====

====Currently, John Barrow's son, Reegan, is being groomed to succeed him. Reegan shows all of the promise of his father and grandfather but with a sharper ambition and a streak of recklessness, he shares with his mother and youngest sister, Renata. On surface, he appears to be quite the carefree young rich son wiling away his family's fortune. This appears to be a facade that no one who knows him best credits. His eyes are shrewd and clever... Very little escapes him. One can't help but wonder in what direction he'll take the Winterrowd Family. He is yet unmarried but not for a lack of trying on the part of many an eligible ladies in Lyrabar. Recently, to their disappointment and Renata's, he has married Morrigan Telstar. ====
