Sir Victor Telestrian was born to wealth and hated every minute of it.

As a member of the Telestrian family, his life and expectations should have been bright and boring except for the lines of magic going back down the bloodlines.

In those early runs, he became aware of the nature of the Invae and spent much of his early running career learning as much as he could find about them and occasionally, with much damage to himself usually, dealing with the occasional solitaire bug spirit.

Character Information
Summary
An elven revenant adept hunting the shadows for targets only he knows.
And he's certainly not telling.
Goals
- Establish himself in Seattle and make a Name for himself
- Initiate!
- Search out as many secrets as he can find
- Piss off Iron (probably)
- Gear: RPC for the coat, boost the aud/vis gear for the mask. Frikken lazers!
- Bioware: Deltaware required - Muscle toner 4, Orthoskin 4, Pain Editor (Maybe)
- Adept: Enthralling performance, mystic armor, save 4 PP for burning some essence and losing pure adept
Background
Sir Victor Telestrian was born to wealth and hated every minute of it. One might imagine, given how distant his relation to the Telestrian family was, that his upbringing would have been no more different than anyone else; however, even nephews and cousins-twice-removed with a last name of Telestrian find the benefit of that family name.
As a member of the Telestrian family, his life and expectations should have been bright and boring except for the lines of magic going back down the bloodlines. Awakening as an Adept, Sir Victor quickly realized that he was able to move faster than others and, moreover, heal faster as well. James Telestrian quickly realized that some of their ties back into the prior ages of the world and their immortal kin had partially, at least, awakened within his nephew.
This was further proven the day Sir Victor almost died on one of the initial missions. Amid the flaming wreckage of what happens when the grenade lands, the elven adept rose again with his body knitting together with a speed rivalled only by the infected. As Sir Victor, now going under the shadowname of Solitaire and taking a thematic page from the stories regarding "THE" Harlequin in Tir Tairngire, began his early shadowrunning carrer under the covert direction of Telestrian Industries against some of the worst the Sixth World had to offer.
In those early runs, he became aware of the nature of the Invae and spent much of his early running career learning as much as he could find about them and occasionally, with much damage to himself usually, dealing with the occasional solitaire bug spirit. Feeling like he'd reached a level of skill where he could be trusted to not drink himself to death nor get himself killed on a more or less serious run, Sir Victor was allowed to move abroad and has come to Seattle in order to train his skills, establish himself, and find the next big incursion from the Hive.
The Naming of Things
Sir Victor's knowledge of the fourth world centers on the magical aspect of Names, which is half the reason why he has adopted the persona he has - the brighter the picture he paints as Solitaire, the more his Name grows. Half his reason for being in Seattle is to test himself and build his Name, in doing so making sure that both his equipment and his Name are strong enough to face whatever smaller Horrors may yet slip into reality.
The Solitaire: Accomplice of Pain,
The Last Laugh: F3 Weapon Focus Rapier, Nameless as of yet
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
It's all just a dance, really - Mentor Spirit (Oracle), Agile Defender,
Bloodlines - College Education, Rank 2 (Tir - Chilvaric), Privileged Family Name (Telestrian), Revenant Adept
A Great Cosmic Joke - History is not as Certain as we Are Taught
Negative
If you're going to dance, dance loud - Poor Self Control (Attention Seeking), Distinctive Style
Even the worst jokes have punchlines - An Overwhelming Despair, Dependent (inconvenience, Alcohol)
Bloodlines - SINner (National, Tir Tairngire)

When out and about, there is nothing much to be said. A slightly disheveled elf who could clean up will if one could ignore the dark circles under his eyes and the vague sense of ennui and apathy.
