Lorian Grant
Lorian Grant's life is a road built from the harsh stones of Serinon's streets and the intricate designs of high society's underbelly. Orphaned young and surviving in a brothel, Lorian's childhood was marred by hardship and cunning survival tactics. His fate took a pivotal turn at age eight when Cassius Grant, a prominent figure in Serinon's elite circles, caught him pickpocketing. Instead of punishment, Cassius saw potential and took him in as his ward, training Lorian in both the sophisticated art of managing the Sovereign Hotel and the darker, more perilous craft of thievery. Lorian's skills grew under Cassius's tutelage, but a botched mission in Vandorn that left him indebted to a notorious crime lord (Domingo Santo) remains a stain on his otherwise impressive record.
Now in his early-twenties, Lorian navigates the dual worlds of the Sovereign Hotel's legitimate business and illicit activities with a sharp mind and a cool demeanor. His lean, muscular frame and street-hardened features belie a cunning intellect capable of outwitting most adversaries. Despite his rough beginnings, Lorian has cultivated an air of sophistication, able to charm and manipulate his way through Serinon's high society while maintaining a network of underworld contacts. His loyalty to Cassius is unwavering, driven by a complex mix of gratitude, ambition, and a desire to prove his worth. Yet, beneath his calculated exterior lies a man haunted by the traumas of his past and the constant pressure to uphold the ruthless expectations of his mentor.
