Norman Alvarez

Appearance: Norman is a suave, muscular, graceful Hispanic man with a white mustache. Unlike many Beasts, who tend to appear very organic, Norman appears very artificially assembled. He has a steely aquiline nose, inhumanly sharp steely teeth, and steely talon-like fingernails. His jaw also appears to be reinforced with steel.

Personality: People who make agreements with Norman are strongly advised to keep them; Norman's vindictiveness against promise-breakers is legendary. For the most part his own life is very regimented, and it's pretty easy to guess where he's going to be at any given moment.

Roles: Norman has been in the Freehold most of the last century, and for most of that time he has been inducing visions using hallucinogenic drugs. Somehow, this has failed to erode his sanity as it has been known to do in most changelings; many in the Freehold give credit to his wife Martha. However, these excursions into the world of chemically altered states of consciousness are carefully scheduled, so changelings usually know when they can find him sober. When he is sober, he serves as the Sylvan Emissary for the Spring Court, representing the Court's interests to the other courts.

Relationships: Norman is married to Martha Alvarez. As the Sylvan Emissary he works closely with his King Bernard Madden, as well as the leadership of the other courts.
