Background

• Dominic was born in The Underbelly to a young human maid who worked for the Leonins. At age 6, a man claiming to be his father showed up and took him into the Leonin Estate. There he was raised as Orion's personal companion. In his teenage years, he entered the Iron Eden Institute to be trained and educated as a premium servant for the future duke. There he met and befriended Cid, another butler in training who graduated at the top of their class during his time at the Institute. Dominic was bullied a lot at the Institute for being a half-breed and a bastard. After completing his education and training, he has been Orion's personal butler and confidant ever since.
