Esmé Griffin

Esmé Griffin (born 1679 AN, Porth Erynn) is the wife of Jamshid-e Osman, former Grand Vizier of Raspur and a prominent figure in Hurmu politics. Born into the influential Griffin family of Porth Erynn, Esmé was destined for a life of luxury and privilege. However, her journey to becoming the wife of one of the most powerful figures in Hurmu was far from straightforward.

In 1699 AN, Esmé was a passenger on a luxury yacht bound for the new Keltian settlements, when disaster struck. The yacht caught fire and was holed below the waterline, resulting in the loss of all but one of the passengers and crew. Fortunately, Esmé was rescued by a contingent of maritime security specialists led by Captain Wolstan Darley and brought to the Villa Hurmu, where she met Jamshid-e Osman. Impressed by Esmé's bearing and presence, Jamshid offered her a suite of rooms in the west wing of the Villa and appointed a female auxiliary officer of the Hurmu Constabulary as her assistant and chaperone.

It was during this time that Esmé and Jamshid's relationship developed, leading to their wedding in 1699 AN. The wedding, attended by representatives of the colonial administration, the maritime community, and local dignitaries, was a major event in Hurmu society and solidified Esmé's position as a prominent figure in the Warring Islands and later in the Lake District.

Over the years, Esmé became well known for her charitable work and support of various humanist causes. Despite her privileged upbringing, Esmé was reputed to have shown a strong commitment to helping those in need and has used her influence to make a positive impact in the lives of many people.
