Who is Sir Deming from Heir Apparent and what is their importance?

Sir Deming first meets Janine when he goes to the village of St. Jehan to find her. Between the two of them, they have enough gold trim to successfully feed the people for a year. Deming avoids contact with children and chickens, and he delights in telling Janine that her parents are not her parents. Deming becomes one of Janine's most trusted advisers.
