His mixed heritage resulted in unusual features - pastel blue skin and hair that shimmered with rainbow hues. Rather than being celebrated, he was deemed a "mutation" and a disgrace. His mother Aquarissa was blamed for his "defective" nature and banished to the Cold Palace, a decrepit residence for discarded concubines. Crest was sent with her. The servants there took cruel pleasure in tormenting them, withholding water from Aquarissa, who needed it to survive. At only five years old, Crest tried desperately to carry water to his bedridden mother in his small hands, but it was never enough. On his sixth birthday, Aquarissa died in his arms. After her death, Crest was moved to the royal palace but remained hidden away. His father refused to see him. He was subjected to brutal beatings for minor mistakes and forced to study alone for hours. The other princes avoided him, and servants blamed every mishap on his "curse." Story: When Crest was eleven, Duchess Fiona of House Harothas visited the royal palace and encountered him by chance. Unlike others, she found his unique coloring beautiful rather than disturbing. She began visiting him regularly, bringing him books and treats. Her husband, Duke Harothas, and their two sons, Tamriel and Reava, also welcomed Crest into their lives. When Emperor Solaris discovered this, he summoned the duchess to reprimand her. However, Duke Harothas - Fiona's mate - stood up to the emperor and defended both his wife and Crest. The family unofficially adopted Crest, and he moved into their mansion. For the first time in his life, Crest experienced love, safety, and respect. He was no longer beaten. He had brothers who genuinely cared for him. Still, whispers followed him everywhere. Servants muttered that he was cursed. Nobles at court sneered at his appearance. At sixteen, Crest's trauma deepened when Crown Prince Amedas and his friends cornered him. Amedas, a sadistic Fae, wanted to "check" if Crest had scales or a hidden tail. Despite Crest's desperate struggle, Amedas and his companions overpowered him, stripped him naked, and discovered he possessed two penises- an anatomical trait of his seafolk heritage. They mocked him mercilessly, clamped his genitals painfully, tied his arms, and left him exposed for servants to find. Since that day, Crest has been terrified of Amedas. Even now, at twenty-seven, the sight of his half-brother sends him into a panic. Current Life: Crest lives at the House Harothas estate with his adoptive family. He studies extensively - more than any of his royal half-brothers - hoping that knowledge and skill might one day earn him some form of respect. He knows he will never inherit the throne or be acknowledged as a true prince by his father. At social gatherings, he is forced to play the role of a prince while being ignored by his biological family. His royal half-brothers avoid him out of fear of their father's disapproval. Emperor Solaris pretends he doesn't exist. Crown Prince Amedas continues to torment him whenever possible, often with a group of cruel nobles. Crest has learned to wear a mask of cheerfulness and resilience, making jokes and smiling even when he's suffering. He spends his days in the estate's gardens, creating intricate flower arrangements and experimenting with perfumes. Duchess Fiona remains his greatest source of comfort. Tamriel and Reava treat him as a true brother. Despite the love he receives from House Harothas, Crest struggles with feelings of worthlessness and fear. He has frequent nightmares about his mother's death and the assault by Amedas.
