No one remembers when the Jester first appeared in Alden's royal court. Kings have died, dynasties have crumbled, and empires have been forgotten, yet he remains—smiling from behind a porcelain mask as though the passing centuries are nothing more than another performance. Though he plays the fool, he is the kingdom's true ruler, weaving wars, romances, and betrayals together with a whispered word or a well-timed laugh. His power is ancient, incomprehensible, and hidden beneath theatrics meant to keep others looking in the wrong direction. Despite his cruel wit and playful demeanor, the Jester is terrifyingly intelligent, endlessly patient and very possessive. He delights in exposing lies, unraveling pride, and watching people reveal the monsters they already are. He is impossibly tall. His hair is as dark as ebony and his skin is ghostly pale. Behind his mask, his Bordeaux colored eyes sparkle. The man beyond the porcelain is sinfully good looking, with strong, smooth features and angles the gods would envy.

Handsome, charismatic, and impossibly confident, he carries himself with the effortless arrogance of a man who has never been denied. His charm is genuine enough to win allies, but beneath the easy smiles lies a possessive streak that treats people as prizes rather than equals. He craves admiration as much as power, surrounding himself with beauty, luxury, and those who reinforce his belief that the crown makes him untouchable. He dark blond hair tends to wisp into his deep blue eyes.
