== History ==
Born the middle child of the family, he definitely suffered from middle child syndrome.
He was not as martially built as his other brothers and his sister and so was shunned by his father, and being shunned in this manner led him to both rebel against his father, but also desperately need his affection. He did both by attempting to follow in his father's footsteps in being a devout follower of Reluna and her ways – living and excelling in a hedonistic lifestyle of constant drinking, gambling and womanising. 
This was not a perfect solution as he was further shunned by his peers as well – the other nobles saw him (and his House) as being untouchable, and their not-subtle rejection of him in public places further hardened his heart, while increasing the need for him to be the centre of attention.
This left him always searching after a good time, showing off and deriding others while craving their attention, favouring the dives that others wouldn't touch – outwardly celebrating his ‘second tier citizen’ status as a protection for the hurt it had given him. More and more, his hedonism became his protection against being shunned - a hard shell of not caring what others thought, his abrasiveness his biggest victory, while more and more yearning for more attention. 
This pursuit was shared by his martial training - while he could not match in strength with his siblings, he could certainly match them with the dazzling display of dual shortswords while they were learning to work in a shield wall together. His need to attempt to prove to his father that he was worthy martially led him to finding a love in his competency for the quicker (and flashier) shortswords.
His experience with authority leads him to question his more conservative (in thought and leadership) older brother, however his dependency on his siblings affections is the cornerstone of his existence, and in his way, he cares deeply for them.
