ohn Austhwaite is a pivotal character in the Corona Montis saga, being the eldest male member of the noble Austhwaite family and also the eldest and most powerful magus of the covenant whose members reside at Austhwaite manor. He is father to Gladys and Clothilde Austhwaite and father-in-law to Baelthornon of Bonisagus. He is also uncle to Richard Austhwaite, resident lord of the manor, Father Brendan, and Stephen. He currently is tutoring the young King of England in Latin, and thus spends most of his time away from the covenant in London. He has made a deal with Londinium covenant for laboratory use there.
Baelthornon has been granted use of John's laboratory while John is away indefinitely at court in London. The laboratory has a Mentem speciality, with an overall Lab Quality of 1.
