Jaxson
Played by Luke Butler, Jaxson is one part troubadour, one part smuggler, and two parts conman. Growing up in relative ease as the younger prince of Ezethae, a small but prosperous queendom, Jaxson is now a traveling bard who lives by his voice and good looks. Fortunately, both of these are talents he possesses in abundance.

Early Life
Jaxson was the younger son of Queen Tamia and Jamvalor of Ezethae. His twin brother, Jamenas, was born a mere six minutes earlier and was thus destined to be the heir to the throne. It is of much debate amongst the gossips of his homeland whether nature or nurture led Jaxson to be such an ill-fit for the royal house. Their father instantly preferred Jamenas, spending all his time teaching the elder twin the ways of the woods, wisdom of the elven peoples, and deep secrets that Jaxson will never learn. Jaxson was largely left to his own devices as a result, though he was always extremely close with his mother.
Over the years, it became clear that father and brother both were distant and aloof in comparison, and Jaxson yearned to find a purpose all his own. At home, he was at best a potential replacement who could never equal his brother's integrity and distinction. While Jamenas was learning to rule and govern, Jaxson was learning how best to remove the clothes from young nobles. Jaxson learned to play bawdy songs on the lute while Jamenas studied warfare and diplomacy. Eventually, Jaxson had enough and, much to his mother's sorrow, made his way out of the castle and into the wildlands beyond. Jaxson's father mourned more for the equipment and money found missing from the treasury than from the absence of his prodigal son.
Present Day
Jaxson is a seasoned traveler now, having spent the past few years on the road. He plays at taverns when the opportunity arises, and has made himself an unwelcome presence in many city districts and villages through his bad habit of running quick, dirty cons on the easy marks he finds. Despite the wear and tear of travel, though, Jaxson takes great care in grooming himself in order to protect what he sees as his most valuable asset.
Personal Life
Jaxson has few meaningful relationships, though he has a wide network of acquaintances and business partners.
