Bernard Cordeval
Bernard Cordeval is a Storm Lord Elodoth member of the Brotherhood of the Crossed Swords.
Overview
Bernard can trace his Uratha lineage back to the earliest days of the Brotherhood, though he did not know that his "Uncle" Martín was his real father. Bernard hated the man growing up and always suspected that he was no good - despite the lavish gifts his uncle consistently gave out. In fact, Bernard was planning on a law career to take care of hoods like his uncle when the Change happened. At first, Bernard was bitter - taken aback that the natural charm he had grown up with seemed diminished. Eventually, he learned how to use it, and that's when the Brotherhood, in the form of Uncle Martín, came calling. It's taken a while, but now the family reunion is complete.
Cordeval has plans. He is rather forward-thinking for his lodge and was given the responsibility of taking the mission of the lodge to new territory. He has no plans to let his brothers down.
Bernard is not physically imposing, but he does have rather fine features, dark brown skin, black hair and eyes. His eyes, in fact, are his most striking asset. He has a withering stare and deep voice that belies his frame.
