Personal history
Born a bastard due to his father's fling with an elf maid who caught his eye, Ceris (sounds like "caress") Nailo does not have the family name, instead associated with his mother's name. Neither people wished to be responsible for the half-elven prince, and so he became something of a delinquent in his youth. Prone to alternating frivolity and moody, sarcastic humor he rather naturally found his way to becoming a bard.
Off on adventures, he was the only member of his family to survive the assassination arranged by the Empire.
Suddenly finding himself the only heir to the throne and responsible for saving his people, he had to grow up quickly. He discovered his backbone, and put together a party. These heroes went on to liberate the Kingdom from the Empire's grasp, with the Bastard Prince felling the Demon Lord in single combat.
As a half-elf, he is now the youngest-looking member of his party, and has held the throne for thirty years.
