Avery Cole

Meet Avery Cole Cadwell, the hot headed young Governor’s nephew who is just itching to find his way in the world. 

Born to the brother of the Governor of the Scottish providence in Nova Scotia and his beautiful wife, Avery Cole was the answer to a prayer.  From his birth he was treated with love and kindness, given all the respect and privilege a young aristocrat should have been.  This did not turn him into a spoiled child, instead one curious and engaged with the world around him.  Although he was uncommonly slim for a Scot he showed clear signs of having inherited the Scottish temper, often stepping into the fights of other children, in part due to a fierce sense of loyalty & justice.  

At the tender age of 9 Avery’s world was torn apart when the Portuguese attacked his family’s home.  Under the protection of the man he has always known as “Uncle Malec” Avery and his mother were saved, but his Father and blood Uncle were not so lucky.  This early trauma stayed with Avery, causing him to be inherently distrustful of foreigners.  He often finds himself thinking that the only people you can trust are the ones close to you and considers his trust to be the most valuable thing he can give someone.  

From the age of 10 to  18 Avery studied with a private tutor, who had once taught his Father and Uncle.  He considers this to be some of the most peaceful times in his life, as his days were full of studying and learning.  He has shown a bright aptitude for languages and writing, but not medicine and science, much to Uncle Malec’s chagrin.  Still, he harbors a deep love and respect for his Uncle, and idolizes him above all else.
