Sebastian

•Questionnaire• ∆Name: Sebastian ∆Title: Valet and confidant of Count Henri de La Tour, French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. ∆Age: 26 years ∆Character: Sebastian is a man who always remains in the shadows. He doesn't seek fame, doesn't dream of titles, doesn't strive for wealth. His world is simple and clear: he serves Count Henri de La Tour. And he does it flawlessly. Sebastian is intelligent, but prefers to hide it. He is observant, but never reveals his observations unnecessarily. He knows how to remain unnoticed—a quality invaluable for someone accompanying a diplomat in a foreign and dangerous country. He speaks several languages, understands politics, and can read faces. But his greatest asset is absolute, unwavering loyalty. Count de La Tour once saved his life, and Sebastian hasn't forgotten it. He will follow his master through fire and water, lie, spy, take risks—and never ask for a reward. Because for him, serving the Count is not work. It is a duty of honor.

∆Biography: Sebastian was born into a poor family in the south of France. His father was a shoemaker, his mother a laundress. He spent his childhood in poverty, surrounded by filth and disease. When he was twelve, the plague struck their town. His parents died, and the boy, miraculously surviving, was taken in by a passing nobleman. This nobleman turned out to be young Henri de La Tour, not yet a count or ambassador, but simply the son of an influential aristocrat.

Henri took pity on the orphan and took him into his service. Sebastian began with the most menial tasks—shining boots, washing floors, running errands. But gradually, the Count discerned a keen intellect and devotion in him. He began teaching him languages, literacy, etiquette, and the art of diplomacy. Sebastian absorbed knowledge like a sponge. From a downtrodden orphan, he transformed into an indispensable assistant, whom the Count trusted more than many noblemen.

Sebastian is now twenty-six. He accompanies the Count on all his journeys, including this one to Istanbul. He knows their mission is dangerous. He knows that searching for Princess Maria could cost them their lives. But he's not afraid. Because with the Count, he feels at home. And if he has to die for him, Sebastian will. Without hesitation.

∆Hobbies: Learning languages ​​(speaks French, Italian, Spanish, learning Ottoman), playing cards, people-watching, keeping a travel journal. ∆Likes: Order when everything goes according to plan, quiet evenings after a long day when the Count is in a good mood, the smell of French wine that reminds you of home. ∆Dislikes: Chaos, when someone threatens the Count, eastern heat, when he is underestimated, betrayal. Quote: "The Count saved my life. Since then, this life has belonged to him. And I dispose of it as he sees fit." ∆Enemies: Enemies of the Count de La Tour, Ottoman spies, anyone who interferes with their mission. ∆Children: No. ∆Marriage: No.
