|Description=Tall, dark and handsome seems to fit Cadern to a T. He doesn't much look like you're typical Prodigal or Redrain noble, really. No furs, or scars, or the like. No, Cadern prefers smooth silks, soft linens, and well made leather. Dressed to impress just like any city noble. He's typically clean shaven, though now and then, he might sport some stubble if he's too hungover for a shave in the morning. There always seems to be a devil-may-care smirk on his face, that touch of amusement in his eyes at some joke only he knows.

|Description=Long and lean with broad shoulders and narrow, angular hips, Cadern has a rake’s build to go with his rakish grin. Time outdoors has bronzed his complexion, his skin smooth and youthful and taut over sturdy muscle. Dark waves of well-kept hair brush the points of his strong jaw and the lobes of his ears. Sometimes he can look a little scruffy, but it’s a stylish scruffy that suggests a certain amount of careful manicuring of that facial hair to be just unruly enough to look the playful rogue rather than looking like a hungover drunk.
|Personality=Cadern is a Prodigal born with the heart of a city boy. While the others of House Ravenseye long for the wooded shores and seas of back home, Cadern views Arx as where he was truly meant to be.  Late nights, fine wines, robust whiskeys, beautiful men and dashing women? Yes, please.
 
  
Cadern loves a good time, and is something of a prankster as well, typically sweet talking his way out of any consequences. Easily at home in the salon, or the bathhouse as at a war council or hunting lodge, he tends to know just how to fit in, and acclimate himself to the social cues and surroundings.

|Personality=Cadern thrives in the cultural mishmosh of Arx. Chameleonic, he has subsumed himself entirely into the role of the playboy man-about-town, progressive and aggressive in his sampling of new things and his embrace of cultures beyond his own. Impish, good-humored and mischevious, he never found a good or bad joke he didn’t like, and he laughs just as much when he is the butt of a prank as when he masterminds one. He is clever and quick, witty and resourceful, and has an uncanny knack for when to use puppy dog eyes to good account. Fast talking, fast walking, with a short attention span that speeds him from interest and hobby to interest and hobby at breakneck speed, he is at home everywhere, and inclined to make friends with everyone. It’s very easy to find him obnoxious and like him anyway.

|Background=Cadern was a rapscallion. A scavenger of attention. A thirsty little sneak who made it his business to get into things. He cherished freedom, the freedom to run amok, and clashed frequently with his older sister, with whom he had a seriously healthy sibling rivalry, especially when both were too young to temper themselves particularly. The shamans of the Ravenseyes knew what to do with a boy who wanted to get into trouble, though, and found ways to occupy him, to turn his impish mischief to good account, and to train him so that his garrulousness and wit could one day be used to the advantage of their family.
  
That said, he's utterly loyal to Ravenseye, and strives to fulfill his duties as Voice, knowing there are many finer points of running the house that his sister just isn't suited for.

He chafed at being second to Aella, especially when the House first bent the knee to the Compact. He had hoped that swearing fealty to Redrain would mean casting aside old traditions and leaping whole-heartedly into a new life, a new culture, with the people of Farhaven whose arms would surely open wide to welcome them now that they were oath brethren. He had a few rude awakenings early on before settling into his new role, and still twitches restlessly for chances to prove himself.
|Background=Childhood was a little rocky in the earlier years, especially when you have an older sister like Aella, things weren't always happy and she sure wasn't always nice either. She was never out right cruel or hateful but there was some jealousy there in the beginning. Can you blame her, he was the baby and his mother was alive. Thankfully in time that resentment burned away, and even though she continue to pick on him, and at times look like she was actually going to strangle him, there was no doubt that she didn't love him. In fact, he was one of the reasons she was almost always getting herself into trouble.
 
  
That would become a running theme for Cadern for most of his life in fact. Always pushing the line, or stepping outside it. And when caught, he never failed to talk is way around or out of it, or both.
+
Which sometimes means, to this day, that he has to talk himself out of a tight spot. Luckily, he always did have a glib tongue.
 
 
Still, he had a quick mind, and a glib tongue, and his father noted both of these traits early in life and saw to it they were fostered so that Cadern could use those gifts to the benefit of his tribe, and later house.

Description

Long and lean with broad shoulders and narrow, angular hips, Cadern has a rake’s build to go with his rakish grin. Time outdoors has bronzed his complexion, his skin smooth and youthful and taut over sturdy muscle. Dark waves of well-kept hair brush the points of his strong jaw and the lobes of his ears. Sometimes he can look a little scruffy, but it’s a stylish scruffy that suggests a certain amount of careful manicuring of that facial hair to be just unruly enough to look the playful rogue rather than looking like a hungover drunk.

Personality

Cadern thrives in the cultural mishmosh of Arx. Chameleonic, he has subsumed himself entirely into the role of the playboy man-about-town, progressive and aggressive in his sampling of new things and his embrace of cultures beyond his own. Impish, good-humored and mischevious, he never found a good or bad joke he didn’t like, and he laughs just as much when he is the butt of a prank as when he masterminds one. He is clever and quick, witty and resourceful, and has an uncanny knack for when to use puppy dog eyes to good account. Fast talking, fast walking, with a short attention span that speeds him from interest and hobby to interest and hobby at breakneck speed, he is at home everywhere, and inclined to make friends with everyone. It’s very easy to find him obnoxious and like him anyway.

Background

Cadern was a rapscallion. A scavenger of attention. A thirsty little sneak who made it his business to get into things. He cherished freedom, the freedom to run amok, and clashed frequently with his older sister, with whom he had a seriously healthy sibling rivalry, especially when both were too young to temper themselves particularly. The shamans of the Ravenseyes knew what to do with a boy who wanted to get into trouble, though, and found ways to occupy him, to turn his impish mischief to good account, and to train him so that his garrulousness and wit could one day be used to the advantage of their family.

He chafed at being second to Aella, especially when the House first bent the knee to the Compact. He had hoped that swearing fealty to Redrain would mean casting aside old traditions and leaping whole-heartedly into a new life, a new culture, with the people of Farhaven whose arms would surely open wide to welcome them now that they were oath brethren. He had a few rude awakenings early on before settling into his new role, and still twitches restlessly for chances to prove himself.

Which sometimes means, to this day, that he has to talk himself out of a tight spot. Luckily, he always did have a glib tongue.
