Personal history
Elomir was born to Henry and Isabelle Ableford after years of trying. Being the only child, he was doted on heavily by his father. As expected of royalty, he was reared by nurses, though Henry remained as heavily involved as he could. Elomir had exposure to the royal courts early in his life. As he grew, he was exposed more to his cousin, James Steelheart. Being of a similar age, the two boys spent many summers and winters together.
As Elomir grew older, he began to show interest in his father's work on projects. Henry eagerly involved Elomir in the projects, sparking the love for invention and science. Henry took him to the magic tower at the age of five to be tested and admitted for learning while his cousin recovered from an episode of worsened health. Elomir struggled with the change, but with his father there to help him cope, he managed to adjust to life in the tower. After a few weeks of calm, Henry began to step back more and more. Once James recovered, he too was sent to the tower for several months for his education. Elomir tutored his cousin and happily showed off the magic he had been learning.
When he turned eight, he began his combat training. He was not very good at it. In a desperate bid to help him, James began to tutor him. It only took six months for James to end up almost killing him. Since his infirmary, Elomir turned more to books, reading well above his peer's levels. He began to learn from a combination of the theory books and a soft voice in his head. But with his infirmary came his mother's true nature. She began to taunt him openly to his face, rather than just acting cold toward him. He had never been close to her, but became afraid of her and her staff more as the verbal abuse ramped up.
He reconciled with his cousin once he was able to leave his room again, understanding the inability to control the berserk episodes. He thoroughly enjoyed the blank glazed over look on James' face when he tried to explain the ferocity invoked by orc berserkers in combat. The boys enjoyed a day of exploring their bloodlines after that, using the libraries and records kept in the tower. From the age of nine on, Elomir began being involved in James' shenanigans, assisting with pranks with his magic. Some of his favorite spells came from the books hidden deep in dusty sections from Felicity Rossi.
By the age of twelve he had mastered the basics and several advanced spells, well on his way to creating his own. Often, he lost himself in his work and began needing reminders to eat, bathe, and sleep. His attempts to enter the court failed spectacularly, lacking the social aptitude to handle it. It was too loud, too many people, and too overwhelming. Unfortunately, being crown prince meant he had to force himself to do it. The days after he holed himself up in his room where it was quiet and familiar. It has unfortunately earned him a poor reputation with the people and the courts. At fourteen, by recommendation of Karia Delmont, he joined the research division of the Tiger's Eye Trading Company. He worked diligently with them, the projects a reward hung over his head for doing his courtly duties.
