Treadwells (Family)

Aloisius Treadwell's extended family is considerably large, spanning four marriages, ten children, and cousins. In addition, various past figures mentioned throughout the forums and role play have been tied to the Treadwell family line to make it what it is today.

Tobias

An infant found two centuries past outside the doorstep of a monastery devoted to the Amasynian nature deity known as Ploav, who would ultimately be known by the name Tubbius. As Tobias grew older and heavier, rivaling the girth of his great-great-grandson, Aloisius Treadwell, he began to stress that he had learned, by divine revelation, that Ploav's true name was Ploav Tubbius and that the Great God was in danger of withering to nothing if his faithful did not take on what were newly emergent Tubbian beliefs that he heavily endorsed. Highly charismatic and spirited, he singlehandedly reinvented the faith and saw to the beginnings of its gradual spread across Amasynia, starting with Westenford; his followers believed that Tobias was, ultimately, Tubbius incarnate and that after his death he would merely ascend back to his divine body. He died at age 75 shortly after the birth of his son, Frederick Algernon, to his wife, [[Treadwells_(Family)#Lucy Treadwell|Lucy Treadwell).

On Aloisius Horatio Treadwell's arrival to the founding church building for the faith, Aloisius received the first of divine knowledge and power associated with Tubbius. As a result, Aloisius briefly found himself transformed into a replica of his great-great-grandfather's body with his ancestor's memories being given to him as part of the restored connection to Tubbius.

Frederick Treadwell

Ultimately the patriarch of the Treadwell family line from approximately three and a half to four centuries past, little is known about Frederick Treadwell other than that he was a slim rail of a man. Father to Algernon Treadwell.

Algernon Treadwell

Even less is known of Algernon than of his father. It is known that he shared his father's slim build; his daughter, Lucinda, however, had the misfortune of inheriting her mother's immense rotundity and, in marrying the portly Tobias, setting the corpulent standard for nearly all Treadwell descendants.

Lucy Treadwell

Short and stout, Lucinda "Lucy" Treadwell was descended from the Treadwells of Amasynia, her father being Algernon and her grandfather, the family patriarch, Frederick. She eventually wed Tobias of the Church of Ploav Tubbius, delivering to him a single heir, to be named Frederick Algernon Treadwell. While the baby boy would go on to continue the family line, hsi mother's ghost is known to haunt the founding church of the Tubbian faith, caught at her most vulnerable state, showing itself as being elderly and still very pregnant. Her spirit relives nightly the terror of rushing to find both her husband--whom she called "Toby"--and a safe place to deliver her son.

Frederick Algernon Treadwell

Son to Tobias and Lucy, Frederick Algernon Treadwell was officially the first of the Treadwell men to be born with the fat physique the family is famous for. Father to Aloisius Buchanan Treadwell.

Aloisius Buchanan Treadwell

Grandfather to Aloisius Horatio Treadwell, of Westenford and Myrken Wood. The source for the Councilor's good first name. Father to Octavius Treadwell.

Benjamin Lucas Octavius Augustine Treadwell

He passed of a heart attack in the field at his family estate outside town, leaving part of his inheritance and his seat on the Westenford Ruling Council to his youngest son. Father to Langley, Elizia, and Aloisius by his wife Marian. Full information regarding Octavius is available on his own page here: Benjamin Lucas Octavius Augustine Treadwell.

Marian Treadwell

Wife to Octavius and mother to Langley, Elizia, and Aloisius. Stern, serious, and temperamental, she and her husband faced frequently explosive moments in their marriage.

Langley Treadwell

Former traveling circuit judge and now devoted Tubbian, Langley is the eldest brother to his sister Elizia and his brother Aloisius. Husband to Susan and father to John Vinson Treadwell and various unreferenced, unnamed sisters. Full information regarding Langley is available on his own page here: Langley Treadwell.

Susan Treadwell

Late wife of former circuit judge Langley Treadwell and mother to John Vinson Treadwell.

Blanche Treadwell

Blanche Sinclair Treadwell was Aloisius Horatio Treadwell's first wife and mother to their now-grown daughter Babette and their young son Gideon. Known for her self-absorbed and immensely lavish lifestyle, she fell very quickly out of her husband's life when she left him for his butler, Stephen, abandoning Gideon with Westenford pastor Benedict Took until the boy was old enough to learn of his father's identity and place in Myrken Wood.

Babette Treadwell

Babette is Aloisius Horatio Treadwell's firstborn. A young woman at present, she is rotund, sassy, rich, and married completely against her father's wishes. She has long since distanced herself from her once very proud and doting father, an act that crushed the old man emotionally. Elder sister to Gideon though unaware of her much younger brother's existence.

Gideon Treadwell

Young son to Aloisius Horatio Treadwell and Blanche Treadwell, Gideon was born after his absent father had already moved to Myrken Wood and was abandoned by his mother. Instead, he was raised by Westenford pastor Benedict Took to the age of ten, when he was allowed to meet his father and move to Myrken Wood to live with him and his current family. Heavyset and sandy-blonde, just as his father was in youth, the young man is somewhat insecure about his burgeoning girth, although he has fast become an exceptional baker, being trained under the tutelage of two Tubbian followers in town.
