Duke Harrison Bradford was the noble ruler of the Lyran Commonwealth planet of Coventry.

History[edit]

As Duke of Coventry, Bradford was noted for his intense loyalty towards Katrina Steiner.[3] He met the future Archon while serving as a battalion commander in the Tenth Lyran Guards, where he befriended the unit's CO. When Katrina transferred to the Royal Guards, she requested Harrison follow her to the unit's command staff. He later introduced her to Arthur Luvon, and served as Best Man at their wedding. Though a fierce friend to the Archon, Harrison was no sycophant. He considered himself the spokesman for worlds along the Commonwealth's Periphery border, touting them as wells of untapped potential. [1]

Harrison had one son, Thomas Frederick Bradford, the product of what ComStar termed a "tragic love affair."[1] Harrison's son resembled his father in many ways, being famous for his fierce loyalty to his people and family[4] as well as continuing to carry House Bradford's reputation as spokesman for the Periphery worlds.[2]

By January 3050, Harrison had died and his son had taken up the mantle of Duke of Coventry.[2]

Notes[edit]

Storms of Fate and Field Manual: Lyran Alliance depict Harrison Bradford still holding the title of Duke of Coventry as late as 3064.[citation needed]
