Evergreen, Earl Cromwell I

Master of House Evergreen

Earl of Evergreen

Cromwell Evergreen I, an efficient and energetic businessman, is the young rising star of the Mome allied merchant houses of The Kingdom of Bigany. He has steadily increased the considerable fortunes of the Evergreen Shipping Company along with those of his house since being made Master of the House ten years ago.

Cromwell is the son of Remington Evergreen III and daughter of Austen Evergreen (born Austen Onasis). It is worth noting that Cromwell was not given his father’s name as was expected. This points to the strength of Austen’s influence over the Evergreen family at the time. Rumour has it that Cromwell was not named after an obscure Onasis relative of Austen’s as she claimed, but after Cromwell Sutherland Trump IV, with whom she had a love affair before her arranged marriage to Remington. More dedicated and courageous gossipmongers suggest knowingly (with raised eyebrows no less) that the love affair was consummated frequently, energetically and wildly. Some go as far as to imply that her son was conceived before her marriage and that Cromwell Trump spurned her affections once he realised she was carrying his illegitimate progeny.

Cromwell’s success in running the Evergreen fleet has been in greatly enhanced by the assistance of his factor and childhood friend Angelico Di Botero. Cromwell and Angelico were tutored together between the ages of eight and sixteen by one of Bigany’s the most prized educators, Lady Delilah Gythinbarian Torc.
