Name: Aldeth Abani
Age: 37
City: Deproelior
Appearance: Aldeth is a man of means and power, and he looks as such. Standing at a solid six feet and two hundred and twenty pounds, his body is well toned from hours spent at the gym (and subsequently studying himself in the mirror). He has lightly tanned skin and dark hair, which he always keeps precisely trimmed in a fashionably short style with a slight wave. He has never been seen with facial hair; whether this is a genetic condition or a result of meticulous grooming is a matter of debate among his friends and colleagues.
This lack of growth does nothing to hide his prominent chin and pronounced cheekbones; much like the rest of his body, Aldeth's face is rigid and very well defined. His eyes are a rare deep green, and have been known to appear to darken along with his mood to a state approaching pitch black. His hands are large and powerful, but, like all of his body parts visible to the public, extraordinarily well-maintained. Appearances are everything in Aldeth's world, and he looks good.
History: Aldeth is the latest in a long line of Deproeliorian aristocrats; some say his family's money is older than the war itself. This is nonsense, naturally, but it does demonstrate the wealth of the Abani quite well. Only son to Darius and Pimona, Aldeth is poised to inherit the lot upon their deaths. Not that he needs it.
From a young age, Aldeth was brought up with strict family principles that involved discrimination against anyone not exactly like them; with one exception. Despite being Deproeliorians, the Abani were never loyal to their city, some of them having once been Aurora Valley citizens long in the past. No, the loyalty was to the family only, wherever they may have been. All that mattered was to ensure that the descendants carried on the family name, and were something to be proud of.
Aldeth fulfilled this requirement admirably. By the age of twenty-four, he had taken the investment money given by his father and poured it into his own company, developing weapons for the Deproelior army. True to his prediction, in the military state, this proved extremely lucrative, and soon Aldeth was no longer sucking on the family tit, but well endowed with profits of his own.
Those riches were not enough for young Aldeth, however, and it did not take him long to figure out what could come next. Secretly travelling to Aurora Valley, Aldeth began a new company there, doing the exact same thing. From then on, Aldeth began a dangerous double life, selling weapons, armour, and destructive technology to both sides, and gaining double the profit while providing neither side with an advantage.
Personality: Like all in his family tree, Aldeth is a racist, a sexist, an ageist, a classist, an ableist and almost every other type of bigot imaginable. He has nothing but contempt for those who are not his equal, and there is no one he regards as an equal. Since making more money than his father had, he has also since lost patience for the old ways of family loyalty and seeks to start his own line, severing the ties to his parents and ancestors.
Aldeth's life has been comfortable, if not easy, and his attitude reflects that. Having had to work hard from a business perspective to make his millions, he resents the rich that just live off of inheritance (as he could have), as well as the poor for not having his skills or his resources.
Aldeth has two main interests. The war provides his profit, and thus he is incentivized to enjoy it as long as it goes on, and so he does. The other of Aldeth's passions is gambling. With money to burn, Aldeth loves relying on a combination of luck and skill. He is a skilled poker player, and competent at most other forms of gambling. However, it is also perhaps his greatest weakness; Aldeth cannot resist making a bet.
