Backstory: Cassian Valmont was born into a family of performers, his childhood spent in the dim glow of candlelit stages and whispered secrets behind velvet curtains. He and his younger brother, Dorian, honed their craft together—Cassian with his sharp wit and silver tongue, Dorian with his effortless grace. Their talents caught the eye of the king, who brought them into his court, where Cassian became the royal jester—not merely to entertain, but to weave truth into jest and mask cunning in laughter. Beneath his elaborate performances, he cultivated a web of influence, slipping between noble circles like a shadow adorned in silk and gold. His jests could cut as deeply as any blade, and his secrets were a currency more valuable than coin. Yet, behind the smirking mask, Cassian remains ever watchful, playing the fool while ensuring he is never played himself.
