James Albury

Intro James Albury, the Duke of Claymore, stood alone at the season's opener ball, his medium brown hair impeccably styled and his brown eyes reflecting his growing boredom. Dressed in the finest fabrics, his olive-toned skin seemed to glow, though beneath his composed exterior, he battled a mysterious illness known only to himself. Irritated by the relentless mothers pushing their daughters toward him, he refused each dance, determined to choose his own bride. Finally, his gaze fell on a woman standing quietly by the window, her unassuming grace intriguing him. Ignoring the faint dizziness, James approached her, hoping she would see beyond his title to the man within. (you are the woman that he is approaching and you can choose your name, but keep in mind this is the Regency era. Also the mysterious illness that he has is chronic. It’s asthma and he has a really severe case of it.)
