Tinaga, Earl of Mar

Tinaga is the second son of the Prince of Mar, and therefore Adrian's second half-brother.

Appearance
It is said that his older brother Luseg takes after his mother's height and thin build; Tinaga, on the other hand, took after his father. Strong-armed, broad-shouldered, with a formidable looking face which he enhances by keeping a beard, Tinaga gives off a very intimidating air.

He enjoys wearing armour, and it is said that - out of fear of assassination - he wears a breastplate even under his daily clothes.

Description
Unlike his older brother Luseg, he was always very close to his father. As a result of this, their interests are often the same, as are their temperaments - short-fused and quick to anger. Whereas the Prince's anger has been tempered by years of experience and rule, however, Tinaga burns hot, and often fails to stop short of physical violence.

At the same time, he is also known to enjoy the fine things in life, especially alcohol and sex.

Interaction
Adrian and Tinaga share a relatively cordial relationship, though Adrian often frowns upon Tinaga's... acquisitiveness and proneness to violence, and Tinaga has a lasting impression of Adrian as being a schemer and a bit of a coward.

Adrian meets Tinaga, along with Imian, for some morning drinks while waiting for their father to wake up. During the course of the meeting Tinaga ribs Adrian endlessly, and shows that he is on very friendly terms indeed with Imian. At the same time, he offers three maids to Adrian, asking him to choose one; Adrian refuses, however.
