Belden

A red-bearded councillor of the Council of Eight. He commanded the Crimson Hooves. When Cassius came to say that Kural was invaded, he unseccesfully attempted to quiet the hall. When Cassius finished narrating his story, he promised that the council wil sent reinforcements to Lord Alban. He was backed by Lord Fiske. He then asked if Varden could spare a few Companies of the Realm to send, but he replied that he can't alone afford the cost.
