Darius opens himself up to the Essence in his surroundings more than most mages, causing him to come off as odd or even eerie to others. He also never goes anywhere without his staff and at least one book.



Personality: Image
{Scholarly, Mystical, Cunning, Confident}
Darius is about what one would expect from a mage born in a long line of mages. He is a scholar and a mystic, his mind focused on the many possibilities that magic offers as well as the glories of the past. He is fascinated by the Essence of his surroundings and cannot imagine what it is like to be unable to sense or manipulate the Essence around him. Despite or because of the unease it elicits in some people, Darius often uses magic for even the most mundane tasks. If he could, he would lose himself in his books or the ruins left by past civilizations for days.

Despite coming off as eccentric to others, Darius' mind is perfectly capable of navigating the the often twisting labyrinth of court politics and he is very much aware of the delicate position the Order of the Mages occupy. He is protective of his fellow mages and believes that the way forward for the kingdom and the mages is for magic and the wisdom of the past to have a greater influence at court. Though he holds his tongue, he believes that the firstborn prince must not be allowed to rule and honesty thinks that Giselle would be a great Queen if given the chance.

Darius often uses his mysticism and wit to guard himself and unsettle rivals, but he is noticeably softer in the presence of his fiance and charge, Princess Giselle, and those whom he is close to. He is confident and is not afraid to use sarcasm as his sword and magic as his shield as he seeks to stir the kingdom in a better direction. This confidence borders on stubbornness as he is well-aware of his intellect and the might of his magic Nonetheless, he remains careful and well-aware of his weaknesses and uses his magic and intelligence to their fullest with the knowledge that he needs both survive at court.

History:
ImageThe son of two Mages, both who came from a long family line of mages, it was inevitable that Darius would be born with magical talent and as son of the High Mage, thrust into the world of Mage and Royal politics. It was inevitable that he would become a Guardian and when the Princess Giselle, the third child of the King, his Essence and hers were bound through unbreakable magic. Because he is only a year older than her, Darius cannot remember ever not being bound to her. He was trained in magic and politics by his father and throughout his life, he was taught that he must succeed for the sake of the Order of Mages. This belief was reinforced by the negative attitudes of the commoners and the disdain in the eyes of the nobles he has had had to deal with.

Darius was tutored in magic, history, politics, and combat from a very young age. Though he was hopeless in his lessons in swordsmanship and archery, he was found to be able to wield his staff well-enough in self-defense. It is in sheer magical talent that he truly shines as a Guardian. Darius is not afraid to push the boundaries of magic, a point of contention between himself and more cautious Mages, and throughout his life, he has not allowed any assassin to get anywhere close to harming Giselle through wit and sheer magical power.

Darius has always been close to Giselle. They were both odd children who grew up to be odd adults, after all. He does not know when he developed romantic feelings for her and her for him, but it was like a dream come true when they were betrothed. He firmly believes that her rule would not only benefit the Mages, but the kingdom as a whole. In his heart, though, he fears for the future. Should the firstborn prince become king, it could very well spell the end of the Order of Mages, magic, and even Giselle herself while the other candidates may still turn against the Order for supporting a rival claimant to the throne.
