Ser Aldrik Baruch (15th Snow Maidens 1605 - Present Day) is a knight of Haense and the third Count of Ayr. He was knighted in 1627 for saving his father, Otto Marius Baruch from an assassination attempt by an unknown assailant, believed to be the estranged Lord Arik Ruthern. Aldrik rose to Count of Ayr in 1640 after the death of his father, Otto.

Early Life

Despite being born in the castle of Saint's Rest, Aldrik did not spend his childhood there, due to the invading Courlandic forces. Aldrik and his family thus moved to a small castle in Carnatia, Liefgaard (later renamed Jorenstadt), which they held in partial rebellion throughout Courland's occupation. He spent much of his youth worried of attacks by Courlandic nobility in the area, who surely realized the Baruchs were holding the castle.

Aldrik was always determined to become a knight, pretending to duel his cousin Joren with a wooden toy sword. Little did he know he would soon become a squire under King Stephen and later knighted by Otto II. He was knighted due to saving his father Otto from various Rutherns who shot him with a crossbow during a short dispute over a broken betrothal and assisted in deescalating the situation.
