Overview
Born the second child and first son of house Zenthra, a house of the Tir Tairngire Chivalry, Elias was often in his sister's footsteps. Eventually, when she decided that the family's gifts weren't good enough for her. And that he wasn't good enough to be her brother anymore, she left. And little Elias was left with nothing but ambitions. To show his older sister whom he idolized for so long what she'd been missing. He schemed, negotiated, schmoozed, and backstabbed his way up the ladder. Worked hard, and impressed Princes and Princesses alike. He carved his spot as a member of the Comital as his parents rested on his laurels. Now still, Elias works to improve his standing, his network, and his power. All to show one little girl who thought it'd be easier as some commoner.
Or at least, that's his front. In truth, he cares deeply for his big sister and regrets the rift between them. Now they're both working to be better, at least in private.
