Aeneas Granville is the younger son of Sir Maximus and Lady Granville. He had little contact with his parents growing up but nevertheless had the importance of the Granville family impressed upon him. A weak-minded individual, he grew entitled and privileged but with enough duty to be easily persuaded into doing the right thing - as much as doing the wrong thing. He studied law, a career at which he did not especially excel, and during these studies, became passionately infatuated with one of his parents' black housemaids, Peggy Mason. Her determination to resist him only fired his devotion further and by the time he succeeded in seducing her and she fell pregnant, was as much in love with her as he was capable of being with anyone. She persuaded him to marry her and he quite enjoyed this easy piece of delayed adolescent rebellion. He enjoyed being cut off and forced to make his own way rather less. His legal practice suffered without patronage and his health declined when living in poor quarters in London. He died three years after his daughter's birth, leaving his widow and child destitute.
