Prince of Light
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Maximilian Caelos III was born just a year after his older brother and constantly fought against his position as second for his entire childhood. He worked hard having to earn his respect when the best tutoring and training was focused on his brother. His hard work allowed him to excel and surpass his brother in many aspects. Given more freedom to travel than his older brother he was able to immerse himself in Caeladonian culture. It was then that he worked to show his people that despite his upbringing he was willing to help whoever needed it, assisting in even petty matters in his travels. A devout worshiper of Kael' Sai the god of New Pseales, he became a strong user of light magic in addition to his expert fencing skills. Both of these skills allowed him to become a moderately successful adventurer earning the admiration of his people, gaining the title "Prince of Light" all before even reaching the human age of maturity.
When the ARCS Federation was formed; his father, proud of his accomplishments and wanting to keep the crown prince in the capitol to prepare to take over ruling the kingdom, nominated Maximilian as Caeladonia's representative despite only just that year reaching the age of majority. He pushed strongly to accelerate work on technology that would help combat the corruption, developing business relations with Thaler and Waterfront Industries. Together they convinced Adam Faera to commission the airship design put forward by Shou Tucker. Though Samuel Eshpard and Iman found out that he secretly had a second one commissioned, He also had used his trust and access to considerable resources through his connection to Waterfront Industries to, seemingly without Thaler's knowledge, assassinate Adam Faera as a power grab.
Using his reputation as the famous "Prince of Light" he vowed to carry on Faera's legacy gaining fervent public support. That support carried on allowing him to probe into the Arcadian royal family. That probe revealed the Arcadian crown's hidden vampirism that Maximilian used to oust them from power. Using the historic Vampiric oppression in Caeladonia to garner further support, he succeeded in his bid for execution of the Arcadian royalty, but failed to finish off the Prince, who escaped with Samuel Eshpard. With Caeladonian sympathies now representing Arcadia, and Prince Maximilain having convinced the emergency council to appoint him the head of the Federation; he stood with more influence than anyone in the world.
Anna Blackfist, suspecting foul play from the prince formed a team) to investigate, who upon confirming her suspicions were able to assassinate him and end his ill gained grip on @[Arcadia.
