Compañero (provost) of don Rodrigo dela Vihuela de Navarra. Member of House Fine Lames.
Persona
Name, Gender and Age
Allert Pierson. Allert's pronouns are he/him. Age 37.
In what year does your persona exist?
1623. (Post-period, but he was born in 1586 - it's not my fault time is linear. If that upsets you, pretend it's December 31, 1599, at 11:59pm.)
Where are you from? Country, region, area, city.
The Spanish Netherlands, Duchy of Guelders, Upper Quarter, Venlo. Allert was only born and spent his first years there - he escaped as a small child with his wealthy merchant family and many other Dutch refugees to London in response to constant warfare, oppression and unrest.
What do you do every day? Morning, afternoon, evening.
Allert is an apothecary who serves the merchant class, especially those in the Dutch community.
While he is operating slightly outside of the law due to harsh rules by the new Company of Apothecaries against "alien" professionals operating in London, he is popular and well known in his local community for having access to excellent foreign medicine, including a small garden of medicinal plants. His unaccented and fluent English makes him popular with select English clients, and he has so far been successful in bribing officials when necessary to look the other way.
He is infamous for his ostentatious mode of dress and behavior, direct speech, and impatient disposition. He has become an experienced duelist as a result, if not an especially good one. He fears the day that he crosses someone with formal training who is much better than he is.
He wakes up early, has a plain breakfast brought to him by his housekeeper while he works on opening the shop, sees clients through the day and has lunch brought to the shop. He has an early supper and then retires to the alehouse to see friends, associates, and clients for his second mode of employment - as a cunning man. These clients, usually ladies, often approach Allert to help them find missing items, take revenge on unfaithful lovers, read the stars, undo curses, and contact spirits, among other services. He's only too happy to oblige, for a fee.
Allert has recently left London for adventures abroad, having left his apothecary in the hands of his highly competent assistant. He was last seen in the service of a Spanish nobleman of some renown, don Rodrigo dela Vihuela de Navarra.
What type of abode do you live in?
Allert lived in rooms (which are carefully and fashionably decorated) above his apothecary. He now follows the instructions of his master, who often sends him on assignments across the world - sometimes taking up residence in various noble houses and courts in far-flung kingdoms, or sleeping rough on the road, as required of him.
Who are your family and friends?
Allert is currently unmarried. His apothecary in London is staffed by two domestic servants (a housekeeper, Meg, and a manservant, Siegfried) and his English assistant, Andrew. Allert is very loyal to his master, don Rodrigo, and his family. He has many friends across the world he has gained on his travels - including a household of flamboyant French mercenaries he was inducted into as a youth. He has great affection for his sensible and talented former mentor, Coryn of the Wode, who employed him in her shop as a young man.
What do you do for fun and entertainment?
Reading, drinking, debating the issues of the day, and gaming.
