Sir Reginald Bayle, Bart.

A son of House Bayle
Slouched at a comfortable angle in an overstuffed chair is Sir Reggie Bayle, Baronet. His hair is pale blonde and straight, currently hanging unfashionably loose as he lounges at home. His clothes are all very nice, but collars are loosened and his jacket hangs over the edge of the chair. He's obviously not planning on being anywhere he needs to be seen. In his right hand is a glass of red wine, in his left is a book with the word "Poems of Deiga" written on the spine.
The Baronet Reggie Bayle, though certainly not heir to the barony, is perhaps the more notable of the family members. He certainly arouses the most suspicion.

First off is his title. Those acquainted with peerage would know that the children of a Baron don't receive any honorary titles. In fact, the title of "baronet" is one that is only bestowed by act of the crown. A small amount of poking around in the history books and records turns up that he earned the title for valor in combat in the Weirmonken War, in which he served as a lieutenant. He'd earned a knighthood shortly before that. Those who have made it to Reggie's bedroom (which obviously doesn't include Elyssa Darcy) know that he even has a simple display case with medals in it. When anyone has asked about them, he simply says he "got them for being a 'damned fool'".

Despite his apparent military background, he has adopted the complete opposite sort of demeanor in society. Reggie almost never carries a sword. He does carry around a cane (and for those who have taken the time to check, no there's no sword in it), with a silver dog's head capping it off. He notes that the silver is in case he needs to bosh any nasty werewolves.

Following the war, Reggie spent some time travelling abroad, and returned home to help out with the family business. He's mostly the social forefront for the family, making those valuable social connections for his family.
