Mnemon: Jubal's mother, who has mixed feelings about her youngest son, but largely positive. On the one hand, he is not a sorcerous power player in the Realm's politics. Regardless of whatever she might say, Mnemon does find sorcerers and students of the occult to be a bit... above, an opinion biased by her own accomplishments and her mother's. Nonetheless, Jubal is an ambitious, strong-willed Dragon, and a proficient military leader close to herself, and Mnemon sees the advantages of such. Not to mention, Jubal is no slouch in the arena of politics, and is as impassioned a speaker as he is a warrior. All in all, Mnemon does respect Jubal for staying true to himself, playing to his strengths and achieving success because of that.
Mnemon Semara: Jubal's sister, who is many years older than him. She takes more after Mnemon, having been one of the big political power players in the Realm, ambitious and shewd. Through her own painstaking effort and with Mnemon's help, Semara was assigned as one of the satraps of the Lap. It was assumed that she could easily dominate the other two satraps and give House Mnemon access to the Lap's plentiful resources. She supports Jubal's bid for command of the 3rd legion, and was surprised when he rejected the position, though quickly changed her mind after he explained his ambitions.
