Lord Henric Avingnon, 6th Earl of Avingnon and Head of House Avingnon
Born in 2853, in Keymon city, Henric recieved all the advantages of a belonging to wealthy aristocratic family. He was educated by private tutors and recieved excellent marks, applying himself dilligently to his studies. In 2871 at the age of 18, Henric was sent on a customary year of travel before attending university. He retreaced the steps of his ancestor, Bryce Leigh the founder of Keymon, eventually arriving in Dolgaria where he spent much of his time. He also toured in Dundorf, the country the Avingnons first migrated from. Henric returned home late in 2872 full of ideas and ambition. He chafed against the arbitrary rule of The Black Legion Movement and tried to raise support among his fellow nobles in support of th National Coalation Party (NCP), to little affect. Disgusted he left Keymon again in 1874 and, through the influence of his father, attended Dundorf's top military academy, earning a doctorate in Political Science with minors in History and Philosophy in only six years. He served with distinction as a volunteer in Dundorfs army as a Lieutenant and was promoted to Captain just before he resigned in 2883 after three years of honorable service.

He traveled again many of Terra's democracies, learning all he could about government and political activism. He finally returned to Keymon in 2885 after over a decade abroad. He immediately set to work against the Black Legion Movement, even publishing a monthly Pamphlet "The Ducal Dissenter" criticizing their government. He was jailed for brief periods on numerous occasions and only stayed out of a permanent prison sentence through the influence of his father. When the black legion party finally fell in 2892, Henric celebrated with the other citizens of Keymon and shortly afterwards retired from the public eye, opting to teach at an elite university in a smal town near his family estate where he lived for the first time since childhood, having stayed in the his families town house while in Keymon city. During his time as a proffessor there he also finished his bachelors in Philosophy and began writing his memoirs of time abroad. This period of peace was not to last. In 2891 Henric's father Lord Louis Avingnon, died of a stroke at the age of 82 leaving the Earldom open. Henric, the heir apparent, was incline to abdicate, ending the Earldom he is remembered to have said, "It's only a fifty acre estate, I'd hardly call that an Earldom!" His mother however was mortified and eventually persuaded him to take up the title since it represented what the House of Avingnon had been, not what it had now.

As the new patriarch of the Family Henric had little time for his academic persuits with the added tasks of managing the family fortune, making sure each of the many family members recieved their monthly allowance, settling petty and not so petty disputes between his own family members and other noble houses that became entangled in Avingnon affairs. During this time he actively spoke against dueling, arranged marriages aristicratic tax evasion.

In 1912 the Great New Order Party (GNO) was formed to preserve Keymonian tradition. Sir James Pole, Henric's close friend was its founder and so Henric immediately joined, accepting the status of Chairman. Unfortunately, a large number of radical fascists also joined the group, mostly old members of The Black Legion Movement. Henric saw the danger of such a group and instead of resigning as he first intended stayed on as Chairman to combat the new influence along with his younger brother Charles and his friend Sir James Pole. Then, unexpected by all, a third Keymonian party reemerged, the Henry XIV party. With the a third and seemingly radical party on the rise Henric saw his opportunity, he could declare himself heir to the throne as was his hereditary right quietly proclaimed for generations, but never truly acted upon. This would take some wind from the sails of the new extremist party, stopping every royalist in Keymon from flocking to their banner and it would give him more control over the party, control he needed to eradicate the fascists. He did so in a bold political move and easily swept the radicals from his party. Shortly after this, the NCP, for reasons currently unknown, proposed a bill to restore the monarchy. Henric petitioned them to hear his claim for the stability and continuence of a politically moderate Keymon and is currently awaiting their reply.
