Prince Endymion Agrixia

Prince Endymion is the brother of the King of Alara, where Slayeh and Optimal are from.

## Relationships

### The King of Alaria (Brother)

Although he thinks poorly his ability to rule, he still defends him as his brother. He will allow his brother to have a safe retirement with his five wives.

### Nutmeg

His unofficial adopted sister. He met her at the archeological dig where the veil was thin. She started calling him big brother and he went along with it.

### Optimal

The Prince expects her to work for him and keep quiet for the next year and a half to remain in his good graces. She is rather hostile to his plan to usurp his brother and insists that he refer to her in a more formal manner: either as Bellarose or Lady Bant. In the following weeks, she sees him often to give him letters to review (per his request) to her loved ones back home.

### Slayeh

The Prince expects her to work for him and keep quiet for the next year and a half to remain in his good graces. She clearly states she doesn't care what he does back home. She makes it very clear that she never wants to return and the Prince will get no push back from her as he moves forward with his plans.

## Goals

Only Slayeh and Optimal are privy to the Prince's goal of usurping his brother's throne. Slayeh asks what he will do with the pregnant woman and child: Endymion insists they will be protected and safe. He also notes that his brother will be safe in retirement, along with his wives. His goal is to keep Slayeh and Optimal quiet on his plans for the next year and a half. In the meantime, he will keep a close eye on them and have them work to gain his trust.

## Appearances

After the first exam, Mina Lee delivers invitations to the Prince's upcoming party to Optimal and Slayeh.

At the party, the Prince speaks privately to Optimal and Slayeh to discuss the matter at hand. He casts a dome of silence spell so that no one may listen in. He gives them a job: go to the Southern Docks in Runesport and retrieve a package from Captain Brenan.

After retrieving the Prince's package, Optimal and Slayeh return to him with the parcel. Vel warns the two that he is not in a good mood and has been depressed all day. They give him the parcel, which opens up to reveal Nutmeg. After that, the Prince seems to be in a better mood. When Optimal asks about it, he notes that there was a cave in where several died.

While prepping for the Sedgmore. Optimal and Slayeh go to visit him to see if he can help. He is disheveled while going through piles of papers on his desk. Although he's not interested in helping us, the girls convince him. He makes a deal: he has someone coming in from Alara in a few weeks. A noble from House Esper named Kanithar who is around our age. He doesn't want to entertain him and says that he's a "bit much". He asks us to show him around campus. His family represents some important connections he would like to maintain and Kanithar's family is pushing him to get into Strixhaven. Optimal and Slayeh agree. Then Optimal speaks to the Prince in private, suggesting that he make sure to endear himself to his people or else his rule might end poorly. We get two kits and two Potions of Heroism.
