Bevan (prime)
Lord Bevan Ravenswing is an elven bard and sailor, one of the last survivors of the Kulthea era. He is one of the most notable performers in history, the only person to have finished first or second in the Aspis Bardfest five times, and the creator of the modern-day music festival.
Background
Lord Bevan is over 2500 years old, one of the oldest living adventurers. While he appears to be a surviving Ashrim elf, there are rumors that he is from another valence entirely, one called Aradath, which would technically make him a demon.
Political history
Originally joining House Paupers at the behest of his friends Wanton and Ryanna, he became Paupers' treasurer, and then its Chairman; he was the last Chairman of Paupers in the Ice Age. As such, he led a team of House officers to instruct and teach the great wave of newcomers after the Ice Age ended, the origin of the Order of Lorekeepers. He resigned soon after that to join House Aspis, being immediately named its first Co-Chairman (the office having just been created), becoming the first person in history to chair two Great Houses. In more recent years, Lord Bevan spent a term as the Ambassador of Twilight Hall, which given its co-chair powers made him the only adventurer, technically, to chair three Great Houses.
Lord Bevan also spent several years as a member of the Order of Lorekeepers, for which over a continuous two-year stretch he led the entire Order in hours served, newcomers aided and newcomers welcomed.
