Inigo Malvici
Description
With an easy smile and an engaging allure, Inigo pulls in looks from those he passes. His deep blue eyes reflect the soulful nature of a cultured noble. What he lacks in height he makes up for in charm, carrying himself with a confidence that comes naturally. His hands are strong and calloused, carrying the weight of whatever weapon is placed in to them with a skilled assuredness. His broad shoulders and sculpted arms speak to the care he gives his martial training. His voice is a thing of southern beauty, his Lycean accent accompanied by his charming smile is enough to make the purest of heart's skip a beat.
Personality
Light hearted and good natured, Inigo is easy to smile and even quicker to draw in an intriguing conversation. He is fascinated by life and all the indulgences that come with it. Every experience is a fascination worth indulging in deeply, to understand, to experience all it has to offer. Though, with a blade in his hand, be it a southern rapier, a pair of swift daggers of a vicious extended pike, his demeanor changes. He becomes focused and intent on his task, able to hone in on what is being asked of him.
Background
The cousin of the sitting Duke, Inigo grew up in the luxury of the Lycene city state of Southport. His childhood was one of plenty, offering him all a child could wish for. He and his more elusive sister, Fiora, were never left wanting.
That is, until the Tor-Southport war. It changed everything for the Malvici family. Preparations for war became more than just a precaution, they became a necessity. He was only eight years old when it happened. Inigo felt the call even then. To the blade. He would hide knives in his boots and train with them whenever he could. The formal blade training of every twelve year old citizen of Southport couldn't come quick enough for him. And when the day finally came, he embraced it with the same passion he seemed to have for life.
When the war was finally finished with his cousin Lucian's demise, Inigo vowed never to let such a thing happen again. He would protect his family how he knew best. With the blade. Now in Arx brought along by his cousins Duke Hadrian and General Calypso, Inigo serves as the families Blade Master. A champion fighter and devoted guard for the young Duke. His smile and quick wit serve the family just as well as his blades.
