Lord Michael Fowler, 5th Earl of Tarringway, Baron Nimminster, and Baronet Fowler, was a Vionnan soldier, nobleman, and later politician. In a military career spanning fifty years, he established himself as one of the most successful and famous Vionna-Frankenlischian military commanders of the 18th century, leading armies of the Kingdom of the Riverland and its successor state, the Kingdom of Vionna. His victories during King Malcom's War secured the Riverlandian Conquest of Grythshead, particularly the battles of Helderny and Staffmoore, and successfully prevented an Erinite invasion of Cunaris with his victories at Fowler's Ford and Cebrennec. Belonging to the Fowler family, he held the parliamentary constituency of Tarringway and served briefly as Lord Armourer to the Vionnan Empress Elizabeth of Vionna.
