Oleandre Torchier
|
Details
General Information The youngest of the two children born to Alexandre and Fabienne Torchier, Oleandre comes from a home that values scholarly pursuits, traditional Ishgardian values, and patronage of the arts. From a young age Oleandre clashed with his father but was incredibly close to his mother. This formula would continue throughout his life, though his mother would die young during childbirth with his beloved sister, Genevre. Oleandre was sent to the prestigious Scholasticate at a very young age at the behest of his father who held tenure in its hallowed halls.
The better part of his formative years were spent studying mathematics and science. During his years at school he discovered his love for wine: both drinking and crafting it, a passion that he would hone throughout the remainder of his adult life. Shortly before commencement, Oleandre was called home and given the news that the small family was expecting a second child, and it was during this trip that his life would be changed forever by the death of his mother whom he loved above all others. Oleandre completed his studies and began to work both as a lecturer, and to grow his personal business, Torchier Vineyards which he still maintains on a very small scale. During this time he spent much of his time traveling throughout the southern states lecturing children of wealthier households that could afford to provide their children private tutelage. It was during this time that Oleandre discovered his love of writing. He wrote hundreds of letters, all either to his sister of his best friend, Dacian whom he had met at school. After the historic Battle of Carteneau, Oleandre returned home to the Shroud to find his sister quite changed. She spoked in mysteries, cared little for her hygiene and often disappeared for suns at a time. He found, too late, that she had been experimenting with forbidden magicks. As a hearer, she knew the danger of this, but Oleandre could not sway her from this path. She now wanders the Shroud, a mere shade of her former self, broken by the wrathful elementals. Alexandre passed away soon after, heartbroken at the loss of his only daughter, leaving Oleandre a sizeable fortune and a missive to usher the fledgling Performing Arts Center that he had began into existence. Thus was Palazzo Aldenard founded. Oleandre prays he will be fit to the task of honoring his late-father.Appearance
