Baron Ravenstower rules a small barony far to the north of Betancuria with the help of his adviser Terek Weminster. The Princess meets the Baron in Ravenstower Castle during Chapter 3 of Part One. He is an aging, strong-willed man who does as he pleases and expects others to follow his every whim. However, it seems that the Baron's people respect him and are content with him being an absolute ruler. In spite of all his efforts, the Baron doesn't have any children.
