The lord of House Mendrev is a quiet, secretive individual, seldom seen outside the halls of his family's ancient manor home with its dusky curtain of trees and wafting hints of music. An avid reader and scholar, Elyr is most at peace in the company of tomes and scripts and only travels to other cities for the events required of a man of his station. A recent widower by elven standards, Elyr dotes on his offspring as reminders of lost beloved.

Elyr is an elf with sharp, refined features. His narrow shoulders and slender limbs speak of a sheltered, indoor lifestyle and his eyes have a grey cast that speak of deep-rooted intelligence. Though plain-dressed across much of his life, Elyr has taken to wearing black in response to his grief, leading some in local political circles to nickname him 'the Dour Lord'. His stance is relaxed and he tends to slouch a little when seated, though when his leadership is required he tenses visibly and sits a lot straighter.

Having spent much of his life cloistered in studies and libraries, Elyr's strongest talent is his theoretical knowledge and expressive prose. The topic of study closest to heart is that of music, particularly classical elven composition. Elyr is a competant meister of a wide range of instruments and knows himself to be a talented singer, though the crippling stage fright of his youth has prevented him from developing as a performer. It is musical theory that compels him the strongest, and he is a regular contributor to journals in classical composition. He has himself never attempted to write a piece of music.

Elyr's parents have always known him to be withdrawn, but were comfortable with his timidity as a counterpoint to his resolve and dedication. He tries hard at tasks he is given and takes his leadership responsibilities very seriously. Elyr is quick to empathise, though this doesn't often come across in his words as he struggles with expressing himself in conversation, prefering the written word where he can take his time. His greatest affection was reserved for his wife, who understood him without his need to speak and who he loved beyond measure, and his irreplacable children for whom he would attempt to move mountains.
