Count Calbert Damien

Count Calbert, Earl of Montauppe in Caesonia, is a smooth talker. He seems to be able to charm people with ease without them realizing he is collecting information for ammo. Manipulative, cunning, and scheming, this man views life as a game. Always maintaining a cool and collected demeanor, he is highly regarded and respected. People say he is immensely polite and well-mannered. When seen with his wife and daughters, he is loving and handles them like delicate glass. Behind closed doors, he continues this love and care, treating his wife, Countess Liliane Damien, like his treasure. This behavior isn’t always the same towards those he does not regard highly of. Secretly, he gets a rise out of being in control and utilizing the canards he receives to further his goal.

## Personality Overview

Count Calbert is a master of disguise, able to present himself as a charming and benevolent nobleman while hiding his true nature as a manipulative and cunning schemer. He seemingly views life as a game and enjoys the thrill of outwitting and outmaneuvering his opponents. He is highly regarded and respected by those around him, who see him as a polite and well-mannered gentleman.

### Lord Cassius Damien

Calbert was surprised to say the least to see Cassius turn up. Though he is uncertain of his intentions, he knows his blood when he sees it. No matter what, Calbert wants to protect and care for the son he never had a chance to watch grow up.
