Casimir Alecsan

## History

* Born to Sir Vorigan Zaytsev (Nosferatu Vampire) and Licia Alecsan (Half-Elf)
* Father is a Knight of Darkwall and trained Casimir in the same style.
* Mother was an alchemist, particularly regarding blood alchemy.
* His parents met due to a business deal, Licia selling her product and blood exclusively to Sir Vorigan in exchange for housing and protection.
* When Casimir was 12, Licia was turned into a vampire spawn.
* During one of the many celebrations that the nobility of Darkwall take part in, Casimir met Pavlo, a fellow Dhampir constructed through ritual and magic of thought. From the urging of his father and the wishes of Pavlo's creator, Casimir has become somewhat attached to the young man.

* Soon before Casimir split from his father's household, a distant ancestor along his father's bloodline died by unknown means. Rather than going on to Pharasma to be judged, the hateful soul of Carnelian latched onto the only mortal connected to her bloodline and awakened Casimir's dormant hemomancy.
* Raised in the Urgathoan faith, but recent events have caused him to think more about the practices of the faith. Would consider himself mostly non-religious in any event.

## Appearance

* Pale, corpse-like complexion.
* Fine and feathery white hair, with no amount of beard or stubble.
* Milky white eyes, just barely different enough that a distinction can be made between iris and sclera.
* Short and rather thin, belying the wiry strength afforded to his body from his partially undead heritage.
* Wears fine clothing in greys, blacks and whites, following the styles of Lightreach in Darkwall's colors when not in armor.
* Spends most of his time in some amount of armor, especially now that he has a new set that he commissioned.

## Personality

* Generally polite, with some understanding of protocol in noble circles drilled into him.
* Unrepentant of his actions, lives life without regrets or with as few regrets as possible.
* Unlikely to help others in any amount, unless some possibility of reward worth the effort exists.
* Despite mortal lifespan, looks at many things in the long term.
* Lives by the philosophy that being virtuous is being true to your truest self, and cowardice is only found in refusing to claim what it is you want.

## Friends and Allies

* Pavlo Kochubey - Fellow Dhampir that has latched onto Casimir as a brotherly figure. Has high hopes that he will find his own place outside of Darkwall.
* Ulysses Cassius-Brokenrock. Aasimar Blacksmith that seems determined to bring Casimir to the side of the holy. Does good work and is strong on the field of battle. Virtuous in act and word. Pleasant conversationalist.
* Liana Fox - Kitsune troublemaker. Accused of destroying Darkwall and let off. Claims to have not actually done it. Part of the same shadow organization. Flighty, deceptive and the eye of the storm for many troubles.
* Lady Cecilia Spencer - Strong fighter. Human. Associated with both the Queen of Darkwall and Liana. Organizer of the Requisition Collective.
* Carnelian - Vampiric Phantom of Hatred. Once a distant forebear of Casimir's vampiric lineage, attached herself to his soul upon dying, rather than moving on. Deep jealousy and hatred for those still living, does not deign to speak to those not at least partially undead. The link between her and Casimir seems to have been broken in some way, shortly after Casimir relocated to Ithaca.

## Goals

* To live life virtuously and to scale the peaks of true power.
