KESHON GARANDEZWARDEN

(Art from picrew)
Name: Keshon Garandezwarden
(Keh-SHAWN Gayr-AND-day-SVAR-den)
Origin: Kaarden Desius
Gender: Male
Species: Aigard
Rank: Erganam (Inheritor of the House)
Appearance: Keshon is the first among his triplet set of brothers. He's a lightly built and delicate man who relies on his fluidity of movement and precision of fighting style to impress those who rely upon violence as a marker of stature-- which most if not all of the Garandezwarden House do. However, his delicacy is not to be underestimated. Keshon is quite tall, even among Aigard standards, reaching nearly the 7' mark.

Keshon's pale skin has a powdered, almost luminous quality to it, and his long, black hair falls in a perfectly braided mass all the way down his back. His eyes are blue, framed by pince-nez style gold glasses perched on his delicate nose.

Keshon's House colours are red and black, and he is never caught outside of them. He's dressed as an Erganam should be: lightly armored and gilded with gold, with the laureate of inherittance over his brow. If anyone should ever doubt that Keshon was ready to step into his father's role by looks alone, he has also engendered the perfect aristocratic (and vaguely condescending) attitude to to prove his place in the hierarchy.

Personality: Keshon is and almost always has been considered the true Erganam between he and his two brothers, ever since they were born. Thusly, he was trained as the primary heir to the Konik. Being an heir of Garandezwarden means embodying House ideals relating to a kind of gentry at arms. It means a very specific kind of authoritarianism held in check not only by the other Houses, but by the poise of those leading the house. Thusly, Keshon has endeavoured to create a kind of effortless diplomacy despite any hardship.

Beneath that, he has a cut-throat sensibility that he was certainly deliberately trained to embody, and he both worships his father and loathes him because of it. He has fully bought into the Garandezwarden patter about his House's right to rule not only Kaarden Desius, but to expand into lands riper for conquest... however he has a special focus on the Balewar at his people's doorstep. He is more open to using unconventional tactics than any leader before him, though he works hard to spin his ideas to fit the mould.

Keshon has a rivalry with Keung that's dated back to since they were toddlers, and has a sense of deep pity and surprising warmth for his brother Kenzou. Now that Keung's almost certainly out of the running to take the title that they've fought for their whole lives, Keshon can be a little smug and condescending... but this is only between the two of them. To all the rest of the world, he's an artful aristocrat with skills in staff and sword that are to die for.
