Bornsen (27)

**Bornsen Foolsson**, also known as Borsen Fools-Son, is the current **Jester's Heir** and is age 31. He was born in Tobecka, Vaegnr Colony as a result of an illicit affair by **Agdan Foolsson-Arboran III** and **Duchess Sigrun Foolsson-Aboran,** both of whom were apart of an arranged marriage and heirs to their clans (Foolsson and Arboran respectively) but more importantly also possible candidates to obtain the land of **Skladdenmeir** had the current dynasty ever died out or the High Elder calling for a **Mandate of Reinstitution,** forfeiting this by eloping. He decided to get rid of the Arboran in his name, believing he needed to be an image representing his immortal heritage of The Jester and nothing else - like most **Jester's Heir**s did.

Borsen is the current **Jester's Heir**, being his father's successor. Because of his father moving to **Vaegnar Colony** the **Head Amphitheatre** of **Jester's Fools** had to be relocated to **Tobecka** and demolished in **Skladdenmeir**. He currently has one son who is his heir and a wife, who he married due to an arranged marriage but still loves.

## Early Life

From birth to age 6 the **Foolsson-Argon** family was extremely poor since the demolishing of the **Head Amphitheatre** in **Skladdenmeir** plus the building of the **Tobecka Head Amphitheatre** took 6 years. During this time Bornsen's father, **Agdan III**, could not work as the **Jester's Heir** and had to work in a woodchopping business while his mother was a simple farmer on the **Manhauser** land.

Once the **Foolsson-Argon** family grew in power and established **Agdan III** as the **Jester's Heir** once more they began to establish relations with the **Manhauser** family and decided in 226, when **Bornsen** was 14, that he would marry the 11 year old daughter, **Thyra Manhausen VIII**, when he was 20.

When **Bornsen** was 16, with a 13 year old **Thyra VIII**, they were discussing the future of the kingdoms and how they would have a "big land on top of a grand hill with castles upon castles." **Bornsen** and **Thyra VIII** became friends quickly but had their conversation ended short when **Agdan III** alerted them that the situation outside was dire, and **Thyra's** parents were in danger.

During the **Slaughter of Manhausen** in 228 ST half of the **House of Manhausen** was killed, **Thyra VIII** being one of the few survivors. Agdan III, Bornsen's father, was one of the victims.

## Personality

To strangers and those who he does not welcome **Bornsen** is stoic and abrasive, but to his followers, friends, and fellow believers of **The Jester** he is kind and extremely courteous. With his power as the **Jester's Heir** he attempts to spread the knowledge of **The Jester** to **The West**, but fails as his missionaries are not equipped to deal with the natural hazards of **The West**.

He is said to be extremely respective of his wife, treating her as his equal and naming her the "**Carrier of the New Jester's Heir**"and deeming her a *Lady.* He is also quite goofy with his son, Bornsen II.

## Current

As the current **Jester's Heir, Borsen** plays an important role in **Tobeckan** politics and **Vaegnari** politics. He attempts to gain more power under the **Tobeckan** **Council** who always refuses, yet this does not stop his attempts. He has restored some power to the **Manhausen** clan, gaining them a tiny island off the coast of the **Vaegnar Colony**, forcing the **Vaegnari** **Government** to name it the Duchy of Manhausen and give it to his wife, **Lady Thyra** with aid from his followers.
