Lord '''Geron Arbroath''' or '''Jeron Couchon''' is [[Richard LeGrey|King Richard]]'s Royal Chancellor and a member of the [[Royal Council]] in ''[[Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos]]'' and a minor antagonist in ''[[Lands of Lore III]]''.
−
'''Huline''' are a race of sentient hominid felines native to the [[Southern Continent]]. Quick-witted and agile, they make excellent rouges and have a long tradition of hospitality towards the other races. [[Kieran]], the [[Champion]] of [[Gladstone (Kingdom)|Gladstone]] who rescued [[King Richard]] and defeated the [[Dark Army]] sorceress [[Scotia]], was a Huline.
+
According to Geron, his [[House Couchon|family]] arrived on [[Wheaton Point]] seven years prior to the first [[House LeGre|LeGre]]. Despite faithfully serving his King for the past three decades, he had always harbored a secret resentment, as his family were the previous [[rulers of Gladstone]] before [[House Chevres]] took power and were ultimately usurped by Richard's grandfather [[Blaise LeGré]].
−
Like [[Humans]], there are some variations on the main race, with members of the dominant strain look like bipedal domestic cats, standing a bit shorter than the average human. Their coloring and fur patters very wildly and utilize a complex and ancient body language consisting of curling tails, twitching whiskers and swiveling ears. While not as strong as humans, they are much more agile. The Huline who live deep within the [[Savage Jungle]], known as [[Tuani]] or "Wild Ones", appear much more animalistic in nature compared to their more "civilized" cousins occupying the [[Huline Jungle]]. Due to their digigrade feet, they are unable to don normal footwear and lack opposable thumbs, which makes holding items such as magic wands somewhat troublesome.
+
During the [[Nether Mask Conflict]], he appeared aloof and short-tempered with the king's [[Champion]], the [[huline]] [[Kieran]], refusing to assist him beyond signing the [[Writ of Passage]] and failing to heed Kieran's warnings of the witch [[Scotia]] and her transformative abilities, even while her black bird form just moments ago landed upon his very window. In the wake of King Richard's poisoning at her hands, he contributed a portion of his mana to the protective magical shroud created by [[Dawn]] along with the other councilors, though notably not as much as the others. He bemoaned how she managed to get past [[Gladstone Keep]]'s defenses, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the [[Nether Mask]] had given her this power. He received a [[Pyramid Key]] along with the others that would unlock the protective shroud once a [[Elixir of Tybal|cure]] had been found. While Kieran and [[Baccata]] sought out [[The Draracle]], they returned to find the Keep decimated, Richard kidnapped and the royal council having fled across [[Lake Dread]] to the [[City of Yvel]]. Upon meeting with the Champion again he assisted in solving part of the [[Riddle Scroll]], correctly identifying the "''powders taken from the heart of your mother"'' referred to [[Earth Vial|Earth Powder]] which could be purchased from [[Sadie]]'s apothecary, but arrogantly demanded that Kieran turn over the Elixir to him personally after they had been acquired. He refused to hand over his pyramid key until Dawn had been located and brought to Yvel, which Kieran and his companions attempted to do only to find that Scotia had already gotten to her first, killing the caravanner [[Droek]] and taking Dawn hostage. Upon their return, the city of Yvel was [[Siege of Yvel|under siege]] by the forces of the [[Dark Army]] and he ordered the party to defend it while he and the city council locked themselves away. After Kieran succeeded in infiltrating [[Castle Cimmeria]], rescuing Richard and killing Scotia, he rode with King Richard back to Gladstone and was present at the ceremony commemorating Kieran's efforts, declaring "''A luckier adventurer Gladstone never saw.''"
−
Little is known of the Huline's history prior to the modern era, as the Huline did not keep a written record as the [[Dracoid]] did, preferring to pass down their narratives via oral tradition, a practice that has since gone largely out of favor except amongst the [[Melik|shamans]] of the tribal Wild Ones. What is known is that during the [[Golden Age]] the Huline, like most other races of the Lands, were endowed with peace and prosperity from the gods whom they called [[Ancients]], and built great and wondrous [[Huline Temple|Temples]] dedicated to their awesome power and generosity. However, this time of accord was not to last, for the Dracoids with whom the Huline shared their lands with grew envious and in secret conspired with an ancient of malevolent intent named [[Belial]], who gifted the Dracoid with powerful weapons of [[Ancient Magic]] which they used to ruinous effect. Entire villages were wiped out almost instantaneous, driving the cat-folk further and further into desperation. They engaged in guerilla warfare and at one point came close to assassinating Belial himself in an ambush though ultimately unsuccessful. Eventually, the council of Ancients stepped in, Belial was sentenced to death for his crimes and [[Ak'Salar]], last Emperor of the Dracoid, out of shame and guilt decreed on his deathbed to destroy the capital of [[Tsar'Ille]] and erase from history any and all involvement with the sinister being.
+
During the events of the [[Prophecy of Belial]], Geron had apparently taken an active role in ensuring the imprisonment of [[Luther]], the son of Scotia, for the crimes of his mother. However, this was met with suspicion by Dawn and was done seemingly without Richard's knowledge or approval.
−
Over the many years Huline culture eventually recovered from the [[The Dark Times|Dark Times]], with many preferring to eke out a more comfortable living within small communities in the more well-developed and civilized areas of the continent. Some however refused, and preferred to live as their ancestors did by hunting and gathering in the [[Savage Jungle]]. The [[Bane River|river Bane]] that runs through the continent, consequently, serves as something of a partition between these radically different ways of life.
+
+
Overtime, Geron had seemingly reached his breaking point, and carried his indignation at his position with him openly. After the death of [[Eric LeGré|Eric the White]] and his sons [[Mark LeGré|Mark]] and [[David LeGré|David]] to a pack of [[Rift Hounds|Rift Hounds]], he hoped that the throne may finally come to him upon Richard's passing and was infuriated by the presence of [[Copper]] whom he saw, ironically, as a threat to Gladstone and potential usurper. He at some point began a love affair with the recently widowed [[Carmen Chevres LeGre|Dame LeGre]] and conspired in secret to have Copper arrested and tried on the death of his father and two half-brothers, however unsuccessfully. While searching the Keep, Copper discovered a secret chamber behind the bookshelf of Geron's offices that lead down to a room behind the main hall with eyes cutout from Richard's portrait, allowing him to spy upon the king at his discretion. After the [[Portal Crisis]] had reached it's apex and plunged Gladstone into chaos, he barricaded the door to Gladstone Keep from it's citizens seeking shelter. When Copper found Richard, who sustained grave injuries after apparently battling the [[Ru-Loi]] that came through the portal world against Geron's advice, and gave him a special [[King's Writ]] to be presented to Lord Geron allowing Copper access to his personal library and armory. Upon being presented with the writ however, Geron tore it up, calling Richard a delirious fool who was close to death and that Gladstone would need sane men to guide it. His ultimate plans were revealed by a [[Peter's Note|personal letter]] sent to him by Carmen in her butler [[Peter]]'s possession, who praised his intention to abscond with the Gladstone royal jewels and found a new kingdom with her at his side.
+
+
After Copper successfully conquered the final portal world of the [[Shattered Desert]] and defeated [[Jakel]] in the [[Draracle's Cave (Lands of Lore III)|Draracle's Cave]], he managed to escape the collapsed cavern just in time to find the traitorous councilor making off with the royal jewels, including the [[Ruby of Truth (Lands of Lore III)|Ruby of Truth]], in hand. After confronting him and suggesting they return to Gladstone to see if Richard yet lived and await his judgment, he pulled out his knife and attempted to kill Copper before being swiftly and justly ended.

According to Geron, his family arrived on Wheaton Point seven years prior to the first LeGre. Despite faithfully serving his King for the past three decades, he had always harbored a secret resentment, as his family were the previous rulers of Gladstone before House Chevres took power and were ultimately usurped by Richard's grandfather Blaise LeGré.
During the Nether Mask Conflict, he appeared aloof and short-tempered with the king's Champion, the hulineKieran, refusing to assist him beyond signing the Writ of Passage and failing to heed Kieran's warnings of the witch Scotia and her transformative abilities, even while her black bird form just moments ago landed upon his very window. In the wake of King Richard's poisoning at her hands, he contributed a portion of his mana to the protective magical shroud created by Dawn along with the other councilors, though notably not as much as the others. He bemoaned how she managed to get past Gladstone Keep's defenses, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Nether Mask had given her this power. He received a Pyramid Key along with the others that would unlock the protective shroud once a cure had been found. While Kieran and Baccata sought out The Draracle, they returned to find the Keep decimated, Richard kidnapped and the royal council having fled across Lake Dread to the City of Yvel. Upon meeting with the Champion again he assisted in solving part of the Riddle Scroll, correctly identifying the "powders taken from the heart of your mother" referred to Earth Powder which could be purchased from Sadie's apothecary, but arrogantly demanded that Kieran turn over the Elixir to him personally after they had been acquired. He refused to hand over his pyramid key until Dawn had been located and brought to Yvel, which Kieran and his companions attempted to do only to find that Scotia had already gotten to her first, killing the caravanner Droek and taking Dawn hostage. Upon their return, the city of Yvel was under siege by the forces of the Dark Army and he ordered the party to defend it while he and the city council locked themselves away. After Kieran succeeded in infiltrating Castle Cimmeria, rescuing Richard and killing Scotia, he rode with King Richard back to Gladstone and was present at the ceremony commemorating Kieran's efforts, declaring "A luckier adventurer Gladstone never saw."
During the events of the Prophecy of Belial, Geron had apparently taken an active role in ensuring the imprisonment of Luther, the son of Scotia, for the crimes of his mother. However, this was met with suspicion by Dawn and was done seemingly without Richard's knowledge or approval.
Overtime, Geron had seemingly reached his breaking point, and carried his indignation at his position with him openly. After the death of Eric the White and his sons Mark and David to a pack of Rift Hounds, he hoped that the throne may finally come to him upon Richard's passing and was infuriated by the presence of Copper whom he saw, ironically, as a threat to Gladstone and potential usurper. He at some point began a love affair with the recently widowed Dame LeGre and conspired in secret to have Copper arrested and tried on the death of his father and two half-brothers, however unsuccessfully. While searching the Keep, Copper discovered a secret chamber behind the bookshelf of Geron's offices that lead down to a room behind the main hall with eyes cutout from Richard's portrait, allowing him to spy upon the king at his discretion. After the Portal Crisis had reached it's apex and plunged Gladstone into chaos, he barricaded the door to Gladstone Keep from it's citizens seeking shelter.
