The Shade of Attlemoore
Ryan Colbert for Margrave Spring
Masculine, exaggerated and theatrical knight 'Matt Berry' type performance.
Margrave Spring is one of the four seasons that act as the rightful gods of the setting.
They are gods in the Greek sense however, and are thus quite flawed and eternally in toxic and jealous relationships with each other.
The Margrave of Spring acts like an archetypal knight, though he's quite over the top.
He's defined by his melodramatic struggles, torn between his love of both Winter and Summer.

(Confiding a guilt that's been eating him up) I… was not faithful to the Marquess Winter. I have dallied, and done so often. 'Tis my great regret that I cannot resist Summer's flame.
(Theatrical display of affection.) Could it be? My winter flower? My arctic rose? A millennia it's been since last I looked upon her cold radiance. May I kiss your pure hand, Marquess? My lips would remember the gentle taste of frostbite once more.
(hyping up the protagonist) This is Lord Shade of Attlemoore. The Lord Knight. The strongest blade to have graced these halls. A jilted lover, a vengeful ghost, and one who would retake a throne - stolen in love's name - and soon restored by it.
