Description

On the whole, Cassimir is in complete possession of himself. His posture is strict, his attire is comprised of the finest fabrics and fashioned to the current trends, and each wavy hair upon his head has been tamed and shaped to sculpture-like perfection. He is relatively tall, broad of shoulder, and lean in frame. Irises are soft jade in hue, though others might not necessarily recall it. His eyes are ever trained upon the ground he moves, thinks, and sometimes when he speaks.

Personality

Why yes, he did stutter. Bestow credit to him for completing the sentence at all, for though the study of words and language are his forte, casual conversation is as natural to him as legs to a fish. It is not for lack of trying; he simply does not possess the social acumen of his peers. As such, he goes to great lengths to avoid the center of any social event, preferring instead to seek contentment in solitude and spending time with only those who either share his interests or have mustered the patience to advance beyond an unwieldy acquaintanceship. While most feel a prismatic spectrum of emotions, Cassimir feels only a range of reserved monochrome. It makes it infinitely more difficult to understand subtle expressions based in such emotion, such as the pout of a woman's lips, or the crease of a man's brow. He relies almost entirely upon interpretation of speech over the suggestion of body language. Words uttered are the words meant; Euphemism and innuendo hold little meaning. Pursue a relationship and find him a clever, sophisticated, and ambitious young man, disabled in part by an irrepressible insecurity.

Background

Cassimir is the only child of Artemis and Theda Argento. From his birth, his mother exercised control over the minutiae of his life, while his father was emotionally and physically distant. Without a firm hand to tame her overpowering will, Theda's oppression would contribute to the bulk of his underdeveloped social skills and a period of adolescent malcontent. When Cassimir came of age, he decidedly channeled every ounce of his free time to knowledgable pursuits that he hoped would one day be the basis for his escape from the prison his estate exemplified. At every turn, he shunned his mother's wiles. Such overt acts of rebellion greatly displeased Theda, who, agitated by an increasing awareness that the family's reputation and favor in Arx was steeply declining, sought above all else to secure a good match for her son and, through him, herald in a new age of prosperity and power.

On the morn of Cassimir's twentieth birthday, Theda stirred to find his chambers empty, with nary a trace left behind to inform her of where he had gone. She searched and she waited, but it became quite clear that he had abdicated his wealth and titles, and ultimately rejected the Argento family for good and all. In the very same year, Theda's most potent fears would become stark reality: House Argento was summarily eradicated, and his parents with it.

Cassimir is keenly aware of the events that transpired, and the unfortunate reputation that his surname espouses. A cautious inclination to emerge from hiding has budded over time, so sightings of the scholarly scion have become more frequent in the capital city. With the rise of Lianne Pravus claiming the title of Marquessa of Nilanza after the destruction of his house, and the formation of House Malespero from the remains, it was with readiness and great relief that Cassimir cast off his ruined name to join them, and start anew.
