Prince Talbot of Skara Thrae

Celeste’s brother Talbot, as a prince and heir to his father’s position as Warlord, had grown into a bit of a rogue and a playboy. Talbot is dark and handsome and excelled at fencing, hunting, and riding. Many women were attracted to his dashing good looks and his title, and Talbot accommodated them all. He left many broken hearts when he traveled to Carnac to continue his education. The cosmopolitan wonders of the centaur city fascinated Talbot and he supplemented his studies with considerable wine, women, and song. Talbot’s other main interest was his research into the races of Faerie, especially the elves. After he returned to Skara Thrae, he found the northern isles dark, forbidding, and confining. He also had no interest in the duties of government. His father became impatient with his lack of focus and commitment and they had many arguments. After one particularly heated debate, Talbot left the island and returned to Carnac, where he had spent the best years of his life. But after a while he became bored and restless, and left Carnac for the forests of Aijalon and the cruel fate that awaited him there.
