# Claude Halvorn > [!lotvk]- Lineage of the Veiled Kin — Known & Revealed > Lord Claude Halvorn received the party at [[Halvorn]] with his wife [[Emily Halvorn]]. The account describes him as silver-haired, leather-faced, stern-jawed and formal. He disliked Talador’s drunken behaviour and challenged Raphius as an exiled murderer; Raphius asserted innocence. Claude ended dinner after Talador displayed his scars. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 45 - The Blades Master|Session 45]]) > > Dinner discussed Halvorn horse trading, Devell mining, Postar’s influence and Solland’s curfew. Claude trusted the Crownsguard and Kingsguard to handle the dangers described. These are his responses, not proof he knew Talador’s deception, Emily’s secret testimony or the true state of the Crown. No later judgement, allegiance or action is established by this scene.
