[edit]
Charlemont Mercaiges (or Char, as his casual acquaintances call him) is a 23 year old Duskwight knight in the employ of House Sartigault, a vassal house under Dzemael. He is largely avoided by those in the House, considered laconic yet fervid, and barely but always obedient in service to his Lord and Lady. Charlemont accepts and completes his duties professionally and efficiently, proving himself to be a dependable knight for the house despite his often intense countenance. The Duskwight naturally carries himself with an air of refinement beyond his station, and smoothly changes the subject when queried about his past. He is rarely seen twice in the company of the same lady or gentleman after hours, though often spied in a bar or restaurant in the evenings. Char possesses a marked penchant for clear liquor over the typically preferred Ishgardian red wine and once monthly can be glimpsed receiving rather large packages to the manor.
Char is usually remembered by his odd golden eyes against his dusky skin and greyish-navy hair, which is typically always kept in a bun. He favors small gold earrings and little other jewelry with the occasional exception of a ring or two. Standing at 6 fulms, eight ilms, Charlemont is taller than your average Duskwight. Fit, long & lean, and elegantly muscular, his training and duty as a house knight keeps him strong and in shape, and it shows in both his armor and expensive, tailored clothing.
Aspects That Stand Out:
To those who have only glimpsed Char, the man seems quiet and stern with a certain air of inborn superiority. He tends to be a bit of a loner and maintains most everyone at a certain distance. Privately, Charlemont attacks his interests and hobbies with an unparalleled fervor. He will often become obsessed with his current project and pour himself into it. He never burns himself out or loses momentum, however, always managing to meter and pace himself in his endeavors. The fire burns long and sustained as opposed to fast and hot. When the outcome of his work benefits him, he will always apply himself tirelessly until his end goal is reached.
Char is a passionate, sensual individual. He holds a great appreciation for physical beauty, and does not deny himself the opportunity to share his bed with whomever strikes his fancy. He isn't one, however, to invest himself in romantic relationships, particularly monogamous ones. One night is enough for him, and the occasion that it happens twice with the same person is rare. Char values his freedom, his privacy, and his right to bed who he pleases when he pleases.
