## Personality

Kind, sensible and down to earth, the Crown Prince August DeLeon was the model for many fantasies of a prince charming. An intelligent and cunning military leader, he combined both the tenacity of his uncle and the diplomacy of his father, garnering great respect among his peers.

An avid reader, August would often hide from lessons he considered "Boring" to read stories and great epics, driving most of his tutors to despair. He had a love for heroes of legend, but a firm understanding of the narrative structure as well.

August was known to be generous with his time and money, but his position as Crown Prince and the responsibilities it entailed to his country began to weigh on him.

He always had a thirst for knowledge and enjoyed reading as both a hobby and for academic purposes.

## Known History

Born the only legitimate child of the King and his wife, August was tutored by many of the finest scholars and sages that could be provided. As a youth, he learned music, dance, writing, numbers and a great deal of other courtly skills, mastering most of them, and his magical knowledge grew with his own intellectual curiousity.

As a young boy, he would often sneak out of the castles and the royal palace in commoner garb to experience life on the streets, learning what it was like for the common folk under the rule of his kingdom. He also chose to work as a Squire, rather than simply be given a knighthood, which earned a few murmurrs among the nobles but earned him a great deal of respect from the people.

His youth was spent adventuring outside of the eyesight and earshot of the nobles as much as possible, and he learned a great many tricks of the trade of the commoners, apprenticing under various different tradesmen under assumed identities.

While he followed the path of the royal family and swore to the oath of the Paladin, he would keep in mind what he learned from his tutor, employing magic and enchantments in many conflicts and even having a well-respected division of mages in his own private army.

## Relationships

### Argento DeLeon

August greatly respected his father's diplomacy, but loathed his overly-patient ways, often considering him to be too "slow" to act in time for anything. Although taught that only fools rush in, August prefers action to inaction.

### Landricus DeLeon

Similar but opposite to his father, August admired his uncle's tenacity and skill in battle, but considered his lack of understanding of the benefits of diplomacy to be a greater flaw still.

### Beatrix DeLeon

August had a friendly older-brother like relationship with Beatrix, dropping by after finishing his studies to sneak Beatrix away from their formerly-shared Tutor to go and explore the town as August had in his youth.
