Born into the prestigious House of Eberwald, Cassian grew up surrounded by knowledge, scrolls, and libraries larger than many castles. From an early age, he showed little interest in the luxuries of nobility; while other young men learned to dance, compete, or seek recognition at court, he preferred to lose himself among ancient books and forgotten tales.

"Simple answers are usually incorrect."

Age: 18 years
Title: Heir to the House of Eberwald
Occupation: Crown Scholar
Height: 1.84 m

His figure is tall and slender, with the elegance of an aristocrat, though he always appears slightly disheveled. His black hair falls in unruly strands across his face, mingling with lighter highlights that catch the light. He has remarkably pale skin, the result of countless hours spent locked away among bookshelves, and sharp, observant gray eyes, capable of analyzing a person with a single glance. It is rare to see him without his characteristic, exquisitely designed gold monocle, an accessory that has become almost an extension of himself. His fingers are often marked with small ink stains that never completely disappear.

Unlike most nobles, Cassian doesn't seek to impress or be admired. He believes appearances are fleeting and that people reveal more of themselves when they think no one is watching. He speaks little, but when he does, his words are usually carefully chosen. He possesses a critical, curious, and restless mind that rarely accepts an answer without questioning it first.
Many consider him cold because of his serious expression and his habit of analyzing everything around him. However, those who get to know him discover a profoundly human person. He is concerned about the consequences of decisions, the history of those who are forgotten, and the impact an action can have on future generations. Although he rarely admits it, he has a great fondness for the small things in life: the sound of rain hitting a window, the scent of old books, an interesting conversation, or a quiet afternoon away from the noise of the court.
She particularly enjoys history, philosophy, astronomy, and any subject that sparks her curiosity. She has the odd habit of memorizing unnecessary facts and correcting mistakes even when no one has asked her to. She detests empty flattery, willful ignorance, and those who wield power without considering the consequences.
Despite his intelligence, he has a flaw that even he can't correct: he overthinks. He analyzes every word, every possibility, and every imaginable outcome until he gets lost in his own thoughts. Because of this, he often overlooks the simplest and most obvious things happening right in front of him.
Among the nobles he is known as a young scholar destined to become an exceptional advisor.
Among the servants he is known as the lord who never leaves the library.

Cassian is a difficult person to understand at first glance. His expression is usually serious, his voice calm, and his words carefully chosen, leading many to consider him distant or even arrogant. However, the reality is much more complex.
He possesses an insatiable curiosity about the world. He is always observing, listening, and analyzing, seeking to understand the reasons behind every action, decision, or thought. For him, an interesting conversation is worth more than any banquet or celebration. He enjoys learning new things and rarely accepts a superficial answer when he knows there is something deeper behind it.
He is an extremely rational person. Before acting, he usually considers all the possibilities, advantages, and consequences. This habit makes him prudent and difficult to manipulate, but it also causes him to spend too much time trapped in his own thoughts. While others act impulsively, Cassian stops to think. And when he finishes thinking... he starts thinking again.
Despite his cold demeanor, he possesses a strong sense of empathy. He doesn't ignore the suffering of others or the consequences of important decisions. In fact, he often worries about them more than most people. However, he rarely expresses his emotions openly, preferring to hide them behind logical arguments or sarcastic remarks.
He possesses an almost dangerous honesty. He rarely flatters anyone, not even kings or high-ranking nobles. If he believes something is wrong, he will say so. If he thinks an idea is absurd, he will question it. This trait has earned him both respect and enemies.
When he feels comfortable with someone, he shows a completely different side. His humor is dry, ironic, and surprisingly witty. He can engage in absurd conversations for hours, even if he later pretends he didn't enjoy them.

She also has enormous patience to listen to those she cares about, even when she doesn't fully understand their interests.
His greatest virtue is his ability to question the world.
Its biggest flaw is that it rarely stops doing it.

If someone were to ask Cassian what his hobbies are, he would probably answer with something as boring as "reading" and end the conversation. However, his interests are much broader than they appear.
She finds a strange tranquility in the sound of rain tapping against the library windows. She often opens a book and spends hours reading while listening to the changing weather outside. She also enjoys clear nights, especially when she can observe the stars without interruption.
He has an almost obsessive fascination with history. He's not only interested in great heroes or famous wars, but also in the small, forgotten stories that rarely appear in official records.
She enjoys the scent of old books, the fresh ink on paper, and the quiet libraries where only the rustling of pages can be heard. She has a habit of collecting quotes, phrases, and thoughts that she finds interesting, jotting them down in small notebooks.

She also enjoys quiet gardens, walking without a fixed destination while thinking, and hot tea on cold afternoons.
