This is Sean Whalen (prion).

Elodia.  Probably Elodea, a genus of water herbs in the family
Hydrocharitaceae.  Gelada's former mistress, so the name is probably
meant to be unsavory with its swamp association.

Ermine.  Any weasel that gets white fur in winter, especially
Mustelidae Mustela erminea.  This fur is expensive.  Ermine runs the
most expensive hotel in Viron, which probably relates to the expensive
fur of the ermine.

Erne.  Also ern.  Any eagle, especially the white-tailed sea eagle
(Haliaeetus albicilla).  Erne is a commander in the civil guard.  The
eagle has military associations via the Romans.
