Altair Daniel

"He's a very good boy; well mannered despite his low upbringing, and well spoken for that matter too. As begrudging as I am to give that Sacaeran Prince any praise, he did raise Altair into a noble in spirit"

-Charles VI

Bio:
Altair was picked up by Prince Roderick von Sacaera in his travels from some small town lost to history after it was completely eradicated by an event. The exact location is unknown by all except Prince Roderick and Altair, as Altair is the only known survivor of the incident, and neither wish to talk about it.

Description:
Altair is a half elf boy of muddled ancestry; his hair is tussled, his skin fair and freckled, his hair a muddy brown, his eyes are heterochromic green and blue, and his age is 16 years, although he’s both incredibly childishly playful, and incredibly down to earth at the same time. Altair speaks in an accent that most people cannot discern, and has a high affinity to nature, often talking to animals and plants. Altair is a ranger, and has a wide variety of legendary items, which is a standard staple as one of the Ivory League. His main companion is a large direwolf named Mercury, who looks intimidating but is actually a big puppy when Altair handles him. Altair takes pride in primarily fighting unnatural threats, such as the undead, aberrations, and otherworldly beings. donating any pecuniary reward he receives, and giving anything he can to the less fortunate. Altair prefers rehabilitative justice over punitive, preferring rather to help his enemies become good people than punish them; believing that everyone is inherently good, and is known for treating Prince Roderick like he was a blood relative; almost an older brother to him. Altair loves climbing trees and exploring various animal locations (bringing nuts to bird and squirrel nests, cuddling with bears in their dens, running and jumping and playing with rabbits in the fields, etc), always carrying spare seeds, nuts, and dried meat with him for wild animals, telling stories to children that he meets in his travels, and he has a tendency to cut a piece of his cape off, so that any kids suffering "Can always have a piece of him with them". Although Altair was originally very uneducated, so he can very easily relate to commonfolk a lot more than most members of The Ivory League.
