Morgan Haskell

Overview
Morgan Haskell, the Duke of Asterly, is a lonely Alpha and a main character of A Toast to Twenty-Three. In his mid thirties, he is painfully lonely though the only person to know of it is his valet, Bickett. One of his favorite pastimes includes luring young debutantes into gardens at parties so that he can kiss them despite having no intentions of courting them or even dancing with them as he does not enjoy unskilled dance partners.

Appearance
Intimidatingly tall and broad-shouldered, Morgan has brown hair and golden eyes. He is described by nearly every character he encounters as "huge."

Scent
Hollow's impressions of Morgan's scent:"The delicious and calming scent from the Alpha's cravat was what seemed to keep him sane, the fragrance reminding him of sun-warmed hardwood floors and the sensation of standing in a forest surrounded by spicy-smelling pine.""A pine and birch forest. Dapples and beams of light glimmering through trees over a dirt path through the woods. The curls of white birch bark at his feet, picked up and whirled in a strong summer wind."

Mate
Morgan's mate is the small and unassuming Omega, Bartholomew "Hollow" Hainsley.

Lovers
Morgan is known to have had several widows who have sought him during their heats in the past, one such is Meredith Turnwell.

Misc.
Morgan can sometimes be a very grating Alpha, leading him to have several members of the ton that are not fond of him and normally the feeling is mutual. Those who count among this number are Edwin Penberth and Wendell Elridge, Viscount Halwill.

He has a few friends who sometimes come to him for business or for advice, including Lord Marksdown, Lord Hayworth, and Simon Stanbury, Lord Rainton.
