Sebastian is known as the perfect politician; in the House of Lords, he conducts himself with charm and knowledge, advocating for the rights of all (which usually gets him some side-eyes among his peers).

As he integrates himself back into that life, he has mostly been quiet and observant.

.:History:. Sebastian is the only son of Sebastian Henry Somerset II and his devoted wife Lilianna; he was born as heir to the dukedom of Beaufort. He had a relatively normal life for a nobleman; he went to Eton College and studied politics, he became a politician in his own right before his father died, and he became a member of society in looking for a wife. He is known for his radical beliefs – he is much more liberal than his contemporaries. Due to his charismatic nature in session, however, he has accomplished much.

He met Gwenneth Robins during his fourth season in the Ton after taking an extended break to focus on his career. She instantly charmed him; she was smart, funny, well-read, and insulted him – a perfect match, really. Sebastian fell in love perhaps that night and called upon her for the rest of the season. The Robins were elated when he proposed; while his parents were pleased he found a wife, they were not as pleased with The Robins only having an Earldom. It was “beneath his station”, but he married her anyway. Duke Beaufort was happy with the dowry, and that was that. . . until Gwenneth could not have an heir. Sebastian did not care; he was with the woman he loved. Let the Beaufort Dukedom go to a relative for all he cared; he would not put Gwenneth in any danger.

And thus they were happy for many years. Sebastian inherited the Dukedom in his 35th year after his father passed, and he and Gwenneth lived happily split between Raglan Castle and their home in London. That all changed when she fell ill a few years later. The sickness drained the life from her slowly, and Sebastian dutifully remained at her side until the end. The light had died in him when she passed. The Duke of Beaufort disappeared from high society for years, only showing his face in Parliament. . . only to be pressured by his mother to once again take a wife and have an heir for the Somerset line. He has no interest, no love, for going back into the balls and seducing young women. But he must do his duty, he supposes.
