Lupin Rivale

Lupin Rivale is the son of Narcissus Rivale and an elven woman in Riolythe. In order to protect her identity and avoid the shame of having a child out of wedlock, Lupin was born and raised in Asanon by his father. Lupin is 24 years old, has the jet-black hair of many elves, and has light violet eyes; his father, aunts and grandmother all agree he has the looks of his late great-grandfather.
Lupin is very studious and proficient, a skilled wizard in the making, but is lacking somewhat in the humour department. He never got along very well with others, and doesn't particularly have any friends; his relationship with his younger uncle is particularly strained, as the two share very little in the way of interests, strengths and opinions, despite their closeness in age and proximity. The subtle racism against elven wizards in Asanon irks him, but not enough to make him want to take on a persona; he wants credit where credit is due, and dislikes the thought of having to hide his identity.
While Lupin doesn't agree with his father on many things, particularly his preoccupation with pretending to be a human, he will admit that Narcissus is a prodigy in his field and strives to reach his level of arcane and academic mastery. 
Lupin knows the identity of his mother, but has never considered her as such. He has visited Riolythe occasionally, but since he has no standing as a citizen, people tend to ignore him outright and he always finds the experience uncomfortable, though in truth he would like nothing more than to be accepted and live there as a Riolythan.
