John Alexander Hartcold, 1st Viscount of Fauconberg (2nd of The First Seed, 1804 - 17th of The Grand Harvest, 1839) was a Sedanian nobleman, diplomat and military commander. The eldest son John Frederick Hartcold, 4th Baron of Pyrmont, he became the first Viscount of Fauconberg for his and his families service and loyalty to the Principality of Sedan, and was one of the few Sedanian peers who rejoined the Principality during it's reformation. One of the Sedanian leaders in Oisin's Rebellion, he was instrumental in the final skirmish during the war leading to the deposition of William I, King of Rozania and the crowning of Oisin O'Breathnach as his successor - although his reign was brief.
Early Life
John was the eldest son of John Frederick Hartcold, 4th Baron of Pyrmont and his wife Cristonia O'Rourke, the daughter of Padraig O'Rourke, 2nd Count of Halstaig. From 1811-1813, both his father and grandfather, Tiberius John Hartcold, 3rd Baron of Pyrmont, had fought for the Sedanian Prince, Louis I, during the Sedan Rebellion, during the aftermath of which his grandfather was executed by the Holy Orenian Empire. Due to their allegiance to the losing side, the House of Hartcold went into exile alongside that of House de Joannes and the House of Castille within the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska.
Sometime around 1823, Hartcold's father, then Baron of Pyrmont, abdicated his title in favour of his eldest son, creating John Alexander Baron of Pyrmont for life. Over the next few years, he served Leopold I, Prince of Sedan in a variety of ways to bring prosperity and growth to Sedan, eventually being granted the title of 1st Viscount of Fauconberg.
Marriage
At the age of 21, John was married to Lady Alice Bishop, niece of Henry Bishop, Baron of Avoria. This marriage, although an arranged one would prove quite peculiar as the two grew fond of and loved each other from the moment they were engaged.
Soon after marrying John, Alice conceived. On the 2nd of The Amber Cold, 1826 she gave birth to the twins, John Aurelius and Antonia Alice. The couple were pleased to have their first children, with John notably doting on his eldest daughter Antonia. John Alexander and Alice conceived a third child. Although joyous at the news that the couple were having their third child, 6 months into the pregnancy Alice was attacked by Vampires within Sedan's own walls, although she survived - the two feared about the health of their unborn child. In 1830, a boy was born being given the name Leon Luka, after his grandfather Luka Bishop.
Following the birth of Leon Luka, John's marriage to Alice became strained, with Alice, taking the new born Hartcold, leaving John and Sedan for five years to look after their twins. Their relationship was only rekindled when Alice returned five years later and appeared at the front gates of Louisville, presenting the now five year old Leon to his father. With the return of Alice and Leon to the Hartcold Household, relations between John and Alice began to ease although not properly what it was before. Alice once more fell pregnant again in 1838 with another girl, Aurelia Olivia Hartcold, whom would be the last child between John Alexander and his wife.
After the birth of Aurelia, Alice's body had become weak and she began to suffer from chronic sleep deprivation, this would lead ultimately towards her demise. Following a Harpy attack against the royal keep of Sedan, the Viscountess of Fauconberg rushed towards her four children huddling alongside Leopold I, Prince of Sedan's three daughters, collapsing onto the floor from exhaustion, cracking her skull on the cobbled floor in the process, eventually dying from blood loss without John by her side.
