Simon Stanbury

Overview
Simon, Baron Rainton is a young Alpha who is quite stubborn when it comes to his tastes in lovers--he is known by almost everyone to have a preference only for Omega Males. His outgoing and sometimes abrasive personality softens over time. He is in line to become the Earl of Dentonshire.

Appearance
Dark blonde with sapphire blue eyes, he is described as being handsome with unkempt hair and a strong, masculine jawline. He is not overly tall with broad shoulders and a "good build." His voice is described as being "incredibly rich," "deep and silken," and with a distinct Alpha edge.

Scent
Rainton's scent is overly powerful, enough that Cyril Muir can smell it despite his inability to smell most scents. It is sticky and powerful and usually enough so that Omegas can find him at the very least mildly offensive.

When Malcolm Stone smells him in Twice Shy:"Power. Raw power and force inside a soul that was wild and cunning.  A great and mighty beast barely leashed with youth and vitality and yet still with a softness that cloyed and played and teased with the hope of comfort and spice.  Hearthstones warmed by smoldering coals and the crispness of a winter morning made bearable by the memories of a lover’s caress.  Guiding kisses.  Gentle crooning.  The fragile hope for whatever came next and the bitter loss that marked him year by year.  Phillip and a promise.  A promise for something better.""The wind rippling through his golden hair.  Chasing butterflies through the moors, leaping bare-footed and dirty over swampy wet grasses. Vaulting over stone fences with laughter ringing.  Making love in the sunlight hidden from the estate in the shade.  Putting his reading spectacles on the top of his head and tracing the lines at his eyes as evidence of his laughter. The trust that formed with each promise kept—especially that which told him over and over on those deep, dark nights when grief had near conquered him… “Everything will be alright.”"

Mate
Simon's mate is Malcolm Stone, a previously widowed Omega. There are 16 years between them, Simon being the younger of the two.

Family
His father is Viscount Fenwhistle. His Grandfather is the Earl of Dentonshire. His father, a crack shot and an obsessive gambler is on mostly decent terms with him though his grandfather still waffles over disinheriting him for his choice in mates.
