Garios Faindel
The House of Faindel is the youngest of all the noble Houses of Garacross, and does not yet have to its name any kings chosen by the Laurel Crown.
Infused with the blood of elven nobles from faraway lands, as well as their magnificent wealth that they brought with them while immigrating to Garacross, House Faindel is considered an upstart lineage, and some of the aristocracy even go so far as to call them "unproven", despite their civic and military services rendered. Though disliked among their fellow nobles, House Faindel finds support in the common Garacrossan, styling themselves as champions of the popular cause.
But to Garios, this is not enough. For too long has his family been scorned, even in some instances by the common man and woman, thinking that the Faindel support of the public is but a shallow act to curry favor. To Garios is it insufferable for this to continue, and so he believes that, in order his House to find true acceptance, they must have to their credit a king. Therefore, he himself has donned a Royal Wreath—signifying that he has taken the oath of Purity, and that he is a Prince, a contender to be chosen by the Laurel Crown. And to gain for himself distinction such that the Crown will find him worthy, ceaselessly does he toil in civic duty, seeking through leadership—and even through the labor of his own hands—to better the Kingdom of Garacross at all corners. Inward is his focus, upon the people that comprise the kingdom rather than the enemies which oppose it, and (living up to the Faindel way) he values the enrichment of Garacrossans of all social strata.
Being around Garios, one could easily say that his nature is one of fiery determination. His vigor is boundless, his voice easily as commanding as circumstances demand or as warm and compassionate as he wishes. Forcefully does he stand against opposition, and with a blazing eloquence as flowing as it is booming does he demolish detractors who would utter ill sentiments against himself or his House. Passionate and expressive, he is given to openness, and those who are purposefully cagey or duplicitous earn his ire.
In his hands does the destiny of House Faindel lie.
