The reigning household

Lord Clement Quackforth

The Unfortunate Cousin

He married for love. The minutes record “an incident.”

Son of Algernon and Petronella, Clement is King Aurelius III’s first cousin. He married the swan Odette von Hiss in season 31, sincerely believing that love would overcome differences in nesting etiquette. He still loves her. After her expulsion he negotiated supervised access to the west garden and separate invitations to family functions. They remain married; exile is a court sentence, not a divorce. Clement is now fluent in apology without admitting liability.

His spectacles become finer. His expression becomes considerably less surprised.
