## Background

### Early Life

Car was born as the last of his illustrious father's triplet sons. He was weaker than his brothers by a significant margin, falling behind in most physical milestones. His brothers would be placed in more difficult missions worthy of their talents, while Car would be set with simple targets and paperwork. His father often mistreated him because of this, seeing him as simply a backup for the other two. The only moments his father would shower him with affection were when Car began to show promise in his social work, being popular at parties and events with other nobles.

Car's mother was the opposite. She became an emotional crutch, feeding him reminders of his duty towards his brothers. His mother would caress his hair as he fell asleep and would sing praises of the Avis family line. She often whispered to him that regardless of his weakness in combat, he should continue to hold his head high as a member of the Avis branch. This would prove to play a large part into his feelings towards the branch's legacy. Even though Car's brothers looked down at him (especially the oldest, as heir of the family), he accepted their superiority with open arms. It was a driving factor for Car to work harder, to be the best contingency plan for the sake of his brothers and to earn the praise of his father.

### Marriage and Children

As difficult as things were for Car in his early childhood, he became a full-fledged assassin with few issues. Once he came of age, he chose to start a family in order to continue the family legacy. He was soon wed to another Elisian of the Order, Sucanati Ursa. His brothers had also chosen to settle down. Their parents' couldn't have been happier with the outcome, as all three sons would carry on the lineage and expand the branch further. Despite his relationship with his siblings, Car envisioned a life where all of their children could act together and bring further successes to The Order. Car then had his first son the following year, who's birth was celebrated by the family as the first-born of the generation.

### Mentor of the Avis Branch

Five years later, The Order assigned a mission to Car's brothers and father. Car was the only one in the family to have fathered children talented in assassination. Prior to their mission departure, Car briefly reported Rizion's progress to his father who expressed how proud he was of Car to parent such a prodigy before leaving. Those would be the last words he exchanged with his father, as he and his brothers never returned from the assignment, killed in action.

Unable to express his grief, Car steeled himself and took on the responsibility of Mentor Avis in the Order. This was something that he had prepared for his whole life, but he never thought it would come to pass. He allowed his brothers' wives to continue using the Avis name for their children. This was seen as a kind gesture by others, but only Car himself knows that he did it to ensure that there would be numerous backup heirs. During this time, Car's mother fell into a deep depression and refused to leave her room or eat. Her health deteriorated quickly and she passed soon after. He buried himself in his work and with the danger of lineage erasure looming, he soon fathered another two children. Even with the death of one of his daughters during childbirth, Car took no time mourning the loss of his mother and child. Instead he placed his focus on his first-born, Rizion, who at 9 years old was already being trained to take over as the heir.

  Spoiler: Elisian DND campaign plot details follow.  Car meets Lyari at one of the many noble events. From the moment they meet eyes, he is immediately attracted to her. After speaking with her more often throughout the years, he finds that he not only finds her stunningly beautiful, but he also admires her intense passion and ability to get what she desires with reckless abandon. His feelings start to leak out as Rice gets older, and once Rice departs after his coming-of-age ceremony, Castor finds himself faced with a decision. One fateful night, he chooses to have courage and to take what he desires just as she does. He asks Lyari to take a walk with him, and proposes that they become lovers. Lyari knows that he has a life mate, however she accepts.

## Trivia
