A reserved human noble traveling north with his sister Lady Thessaly. Lord Therin is formal, cautious, and appears somewhat emotionally distant, though he maintains proper noble bearing.
Campaign Role
Road Ambush Aftermath
Lord Therin was a passenger in a noble carriage traveling the Triboar Trail north of Saltmarsh. The carriage was attacked by the Black Knight and his bandit forces during Session B01. When the party had neutralized the threat, the carriage remained intact with Therin and his sister inside.
Opening of Session B02
As the party stood before the carriage the morning after the ambush, Therin requested a password before allowing anyone to exit the wagon. The party had established "Two Drows and a Baby" as a code phrase when the Veilances had hired them as a road escort. Therin confirmed the password and opened the door.
Journey to Helm's Hold
Therin traveled with the party to Helm's Hold, riding in the carriage. He demonstrated minimal gratitude during the journey and expressed more interest in practical matters (the password verification) than in thanking the party for their intervention.
Reception at Helm's Hold
Therin's sister Thessaly later noted that he had not expressed sufficient gratitude for the party's assistance during the ambush. This apparent fault in his manner suggests either discomfort with emotional expression or preoccupation with other concerns.

Threads
- Journey Purpose: Why the Veilances were traveling north and their destination beyond Helm's Hold is unresolved.
- Family Dynamics: The contrast between Therin's reserve and his sister Thessaly's warmth and graciousness is notable but unexplained.
- Relationship to Black Knight Attack: Whether the Black Knight specifically targeted the Veilances or their carriage, and what valuables or information the carriage contained, remains unclear.
