Character Background

• History: this canon does not have a wiki with much at all, I'm sorry, here we go

A History in Bullets:

-Constantin is born in the Congregation of Merchants to Prince d'Orsay's second wife; his mother had his older half-brother, Laurent, assassinated when Constantin was very young to make room for "her" heir, a fact that has caused his father to resent Constantin and be overly demanding with him if not outright verbally abusive.

-Constantin grows up both hating his parents and wanting desperately to please them in turn; his closest friend, ally, and confidant is his cousin, the protagonist, known in canon as De Sardet (the first name isn't given, presumably player choice). They are very close, and Constantin makes reference to how De Sardet is always there to bail him out of his many troubles.

-Constantin gets into troubles a lot as a rowdy youth with something to prove. When the game narrative begins, he is missing in action after a night of partying, and found kidnapped by a local gang trying to ransom him. De Sardet breaks him out of imprisonment and they prepare to leave Serene for New Serene, the Congregation's new city on the island of Teer Fradee, of which Constantin has just been appointed governor.

-Before their sea journey, they and their companions encounter a... tree monster, giant humanoid thing. De Sardet kills it and Constantin is very impressed. They start their months-long voyage immediately after. Their mission on Teer Fradee besides governing is to find a cure for the malichor, a disease that has been killing people on the continent.

-Upon arriving to New Serene, Constantin is desperate to squeeze all the adventure he can out of his new city, but is quickly buried in politics and paperwork. He sends De Sardet to the other cities to meet with the other major factions on the island: the Bridge Alliance, focused on science; the Theleme missionaries; and the native islanders.

-While De Sardet is away, Constantin is buried in paperwork, as mentioned. He often complains that he'd like to toss it all out and work on "real projects," and listens eagerly to all of De Sardet's adventure tales. It is also noteworthy that each time De Sardet returns, Constantin seems more and more ill.

-In De Sardet's travels, they discover a myriad of mysteries and corruptions on the island both old and new; those relevant to Constantin include the Coin Guard (the Congregation's guards) attempting a coup, which De Sardet prevents, and the fact that their current attempt at colonizing the island is not the first; merchants from their nation had attempted to settle the island many generations ago. Constantin also learns that De Sardet is not actually his cousin by blood, but professes they will always have a bond anyway.

-Just before the coup attempt Constantin relents and lets a doctor examine him. This is when he and De Sardet learn that Constantin has the malichor. Currently he is just... weak, and looks like shit, like he has a very bad flu but also his blood has turned black. The canon point iiiis here, just after the attempted coup/bad news brigade rolls in.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: none!
• Blood Type: Vileblood
• Omen: a pleasantly fat tegu
• Blessed Day: 8/10 for no reason other than Mariana Month
• Patron Pthumerian: Mariana, who he will find horrifying in every way but also, gotta respect the drip of a lady (relatively) who just wants to sow destruction. That much appeals to all the resentment and spite he's carried around for ages, if not for the right reasons.
