Kendra Deverin

Kendra Deverin is the current mayor of the town of Sandpoint. Diplomatic yet stern, Deverin is well respected by the citizenry, and manages to leaven a firm hand with a personal, sisterly style of governing.

Background
The youngest daughter of Sandpoint's first mayor, Amos Deverin, and sister of its second, Fenchus Deverin, Kendra is the scion of one of Sandpoint's four founding families. After Amos's death by snakebite during a boar hunt and Fenchus's demise after being trampled by a runaway horse, Kendra Deverin is the heir not only to the family fortune but to her family's traditional leadership of Sandpoint.

Deverin was elected in 4702 AR despite the opposition of Titus Scarnetti, her opponent. The support of her close friend Casp Avertin, Sandpoint's onetime sheriff, had much to do with her victory - though Deverin initially didn't want the job, Casp nominated her for the role and she rose to the occasion.

Townsfolk say Deverin and Casp were close - how close is a matter of gossip and speculation, given Casp's marriage to Alma. In any case, Casp's death during the Late Unpleasantness at the hands of the serial murderer Chopper seemed to put an end to romance for Deverin.

Kendra is the niece of Lord Hobart Deverin, the head of House Deverin in Magnimar.
