Traits
Personality: To his friends; confident, outgoing, and kind. To his enemies; arrogant, rude, and ruthless.
Ambitions: To always be among the best of whatever it is he does. To be stronger, more wealthy, politically powerful, and to have greater influence.
Philosophy: Once a more optimistic and benevolent young man. Now, he believes that life's purpose is the pursuit of self interest and indulgence. A never-ending competition, in which he will be the victor.
Religion: Once a devout follower of Menphina, he has since forsaken his religion after the fall of Dalamund, which had until then been a symbol of her divinity. Still, he remains respectful of the Twelve and those beyond, and often partakes in Tarot readings to prepare for his future. In particular, he practices the ancient trading rituals passed down by the followers of Nald'Thal, believing that the Twins will punish those who break a transactional promise.
Likes: The beautiful and the wealthy. Any sort of competition, contest or game, particularly gambling. Sky-sailing, sightseeing, and blood sport. Red wine, sour food and drink, and cold weather.
Dislikes: The poor and downtrodden. The boring and the melancholic. The law. Stouts, bar food, lines, and humid weather. Also, ONIONS!
Strengths: He is particularly strong in the healing arts, doubly so on the field of battle, and triply so at keeping himself safe. Generally speaking, he is a paragon of supporting his allies in combat, though he will typically save himself first. Socially, he can be charming, and if that fails, his wealth and/or influence tend to carry him the rest of the way.
Weaknesses: In combat, he relies heavily on others to help him secure victory, not particularly adept at offensive magic or martial arts. His personality has gained him many enemies over the years, and his cutthroat business tactics leave even his friends distrusting him.
Fears: His first was to lose someone that he loved. Later in life, he began to fear his name being forgotten. Now, no fear is greater than that of the Diadem Brachiosaur, their existence deterring him from ever returning to his Diadem exploration.
Equipment
Rings of Eternal Bonding: Stefan's fingers are decorated with around a dozen rings, each of them bound to a different weapon or relic which he keeps safely locked away in a hidden vault. The purpose of the rings is to call these things to him when they are needed.
Jewelry: All other pieces of Stefan's worn jewelry are lavish trophies from his days in the Feast, with one other exception.
Aether Suppressing Ring: A somewhat ordinary looking bronze ring, worn on the middle finger of his right hand, suppresses his aether.
Crest of Opulence: A golden insignia usually kept with his wallet in his front right pocket. Seemingly worthless beyond the gold it's made of, it is the symbol belonging to members of an exclusive high society group.
The Black Book: Currently missing and in the hands of another, Stefan typically carries a small, black leather bound book in his back right pocket. It's rumored to contain the details of many of his more nefarious business dealings.
