Ketiga Aphelion

Details

Ketiga is a distinguished young gentleman. He has a very defined face with a sharp jawline. His thick brown hair is neatly in place. His blue eyes are in stark contrast with his dark hair and pale complexion, making it so that he always seems to look right through a person or down at some body due to his tall stature.

The man carries himself with a certain elegance when he walks around through the city. He does know how to actually act around people, even if it sometimes looks like he is ready to cast down lightning on somebody. There is a certain way in how he states things, always making sure that he has everyone wrapped around his finger. Words luring them in, a kind of manipulative yet charming streak.

His choices in clothes vary. He often decides on black attires, yet he doesn’t shy away from wearing something more colorful as well. It really varies with the mood he is in.

Ketiga is dedicated to doing what is right, striving to make the world a better place. One that resembles his own vision of the world's best. He is a very creative, imaginative and empathetic man on the surface. Making it look quite easy to lure people in. But the part that comes next where he actually hooks them in. That’s what he’s best at. With his charm he can easily manipulate people into doing what he wants. By making it look like it’s something they want to do instead of him pointing them in the right direction.

He is a very analytical and strategic thinker, meaning that he will always look at what drives people. What they want to achieve in life. Making that knowledge his own, to either extend a hand to them in helping them, so that the people on their turn owe him a favor. Yet the man is quite open-minded as well, he won’t really be surprised by weird things like magic or a different view on matters. To get to the bottom of some people, one must observe. Something he has gotten quite good at over the years. Studying people's behavior.

Ketiga is a curious soul. Always wanting to find out more about others but also about life itself. The man is very meticulous about what he does. Certainly when it involves creating certain poisons and while taking care of his snakes.

The master of whisperers or the spymaster is an advisor to Duke Edward. Ketiga is charged with gathering intelligence from informants all over Ashmoor and other places as well. He always needs to keep an ear on the ground. He has a tight knit web of informants spread around. Learning about things that no one wants to have known. Making the Duke aware of all things that are of matter.

Early years

The third son of the third son. Quite a coincidence. With being the third child came little to no expectations, apart from not shaming the family name that is. Something Ketiga knew. Which was why the boy did his best to be as good as his brother. To gain that same recognition as him when he had been his age. Something that wasn’t easy. But he did his very best. At quite a young age the kid got interested in the traditional ways of alchemy, started with making little brews as a passing of them. Focusing on matters like biology in his studies. Yet also on those typical boyish things, like sword-fighting, horseback riding and archery. Because maybe somewhere deep down he had the aspiration of becoming a knight.

His parents were slightly taken back by his interest in biology and alchemy. But they let him go on without interference. Finding his own path like his siblings had done. The boy had developed an unhealthy sense of jealousy of his older brother. Simply because he was getting the attention he didn’t get. Which was annoying to say the least. But he persisted. His focus ran deeper and deeper. Yet one big thing about the youngster was that he was gaining a lot of attention from kids from all the classes in Alderrath. Making friends left and right, getting connections in all kinds of places. Which was truly the start of him building his web of intelligence.

Teenage years

While growing older a lot of things happened for him on a personal level. He kept finding out more and more things about people both of high and low standings. Which was wicked to have that much information. The kind that could ruin one forever if it was brought out. Information that didn’t only have to do with the people within the city, but of all Ashmoor. Ketiga dabbled in selling that information to the highest bidder at first, with the greatest caution off course. In a way making a name for himself, though no one truly knew that it was him.

At a certain point in his life, he ended up supplying poison to someone. Ended up killing a man first hand due to that poison. Poison he extracted from the fangs of one of his snakes. Which was why he would always have one snake that was venomous and the other not so much. Slowly but surely the bond with his brother seemed to get better again, where he used to be jealous of all the affection he got. He now started looking up to the man. Knowing deep down that his older brother would achieve great things. While everything he did happened in the shades, out of sight of those important. He knew that he was doing a great job. But it was all in secret and he could live with that perfectly. His studies had gotten him a job at a local apothecary. Which was the perfect cover up actually.

Adulthood

As an adult the man was still doing what he did best. Now having a wide array of people that “helped” him out. Eventually being noticed by an advisor of the Duke. Being recruited in his ranks when he was about the age of 25. Though still on the downlow. Ketiga himself didn’t want this to be known by his family. Given that it would take away the light that shined down on Alpha. Still keeping his daytime job as an apothecary. To maintain his connection with his sources mostly.

By the time his brother was appointed as the new High Priest, he eventually came out as the Master of Whisperers too. Yet not shedding light on what he had actually done already, because frankly he could only wonder how his family would react to it. So to avoid that, he keeps his business to himself.
