Name: Zachary Bantock
Age: 17
Occupation: Currently in Boarding School.
Appearance
Zachary is 5’7 inches in height, more along the lines of his deceased mother than his more bullishly dimensioned father. His hair is inky black in color and neatly cut, though as hard as he tries to keep it pushed back out of his face he tends to have to brush his bands back again.
His skin is pale, the hue attributed with ‘high breeding’ despite being a lesser noble at best. It makes any hint of a blush in his face show up more vividly because of it.
He has a face that is more ‘pretty’ than handsome, which, is one of the ‘reasons’ given towards sending him to the boarding school. The intent was to ‘Man him up’.
His clothes are well made, the certainly not the best money can buy. That though is only when he is not wearing the school uniform.
Personality
Zachary is a closed off sort of young man. He doesn’t trust himself to show too much emotion around people who might use those emotions against him. Likely it does little to help him with the people he schools with, his height, and his lesser build along with his refusal to open up to the majority of people he knows makes him a target even in his final year.
He is obsessed with information, reading, watching people, reading ledgers. Anything that gives him something to ‘know’, better if he knows something and no one else knows, because that’s a feeling of ‘power’ in an odd way.
Skills
Grade wise he’s an accomplished student. He has a good chance of landing a job as a clerk or some other well-paid position that might be considered suitable for someone of his ‘class in life’.
History
Zachary’s mother died when he was 4 years old. His Father wasted little time after that, finding nurses to make sure that he was kept ‘in line’. As soon as he was able he made sure that Zachary was old enough he was sent to boarding school. The intent was to shape him into a ‘real man’ because his mother had ‘coddled him’.
For most of his life he has received what could at best be called poor treatment from his Father, and from the people at school. He’s only recently started to dare to explore anything outside of the ‘accepted’ areas of life, and even now he’s struggling with the expectation that he will be judged.
His primary goal in life is to succeed, no matter where, or what he is doing. He has a need to prove himself as better than he has been judged in the past.
