Cassian Florent

Cassian Florent is the second eldest son of Duke Jastor Florent and Duchess Jocasta Ventrue. He is the twin brother of Elspeth Florent.
Cassian is a charismatic and hedonistic debonair. Cassian is best friends with Leon Tyrith. The two are legendary for their decadent lifestyle. His numerous flings, especially with the commoner Renfry Alt, put him conflict with his mother, who wants him to enter a political marriage. Cassian has little interest in the politics of House Florent.
== Personality ==
Cassian is charming, friendly, and humorous. He prefers to resolve conflicts peacefully, typically through jokes. Sometimes his reliance on charm and humor comes at his own detriment, as he has a habit of not taking things seriously. Unlike many noblemen, Cassian is not judgmental of the lower classes.
Cassian is a self described romantic. He is passionate, borderline obsessive, about his interests or desires. He tunnel visions on what he's set his mind on, to the point of ignoring everything else. Elspeth often is his voice of wisdom when he is being single minded.
He is quite fond of all the luxuries of high society life. He fancies himself something of a connoisseur of parties, beautiful women, fine food, art, and entertainment. He has made many generous donations to poets, playwrights, and other artists. Cassian is an amateur poet and writer.
