Caden Pearson, formerly the Vernal King of the freehold of the Red Ferry, is a political agitator seeking to split the freehold apart along Court lines. He is in a motley with Rosalinda Romero.
Overview[]
The Vernal King, a gardener by trade before his capture, spent his durance as a decoration in the Hall of Seasons; his affinity to the wing dedicated to Spring shaped him into the Flowering changeling that he became. Upon his escape, he dropped into the Linwood Cemetery, from which he was quickly found by the Red Ferry’s Spring Court.
Pearson would quickly rise through the ranks, growing skilled in social manipulations. Despite the often cut-throat nature of the Courts, Pearson never lost sight of the importance of aiding his fellows — a trait that would see him become a much beloved Vernal King. That would end in the midst of June, 2008, when Cedar Rapids was struck by a terrible flood.
The city as a whole was entirely unprepared for the disaster, freeholds included. As such, the Stranger known as the Old Man took advantage, kidnapping Pearson, furthering the freeholds’ downward spiral. Little is known of Pearson’s second visit to Arcadia — only that he washed up, near-drowned, during the flood of 2016. Less than stable after having been recaptured, Pearson is fairly riddled with derangements and is dangerously low on Clarity, though he hides his troubles well when socializing. Sympathetic changelings within his Court are playing therapist to help him recover.
Nevertheless, the former King yearns for the old days, a desire that has drawn him to the cause of separatists who seek to disassemble the freehold of the Grove, which Pearson sees as having replaced the home he loved.
