Name: Aramis Shahrizai
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0"
Race: D’Angeline (Kusheline)
Home province: Kusheth
Appearance: Ever the perfect specimen of Shahrizai, Aramis has blue-black curly hair, sapphire eyes and a toned, healthy body. On his right shoulder blade, he bears a small marque of a Cruithne knot.
History: Tabor Shahrizai married a distant cousin, Fabienne, and she bore Bryant. Bryant loved adventure, and grew up scouring maps and planning trips to faraway places. He grew up to become one of the wealthiest spice traders in Terre D’Ange. He married his cousin Felice, a descendent of Sacriphant, and she bore Aramis. When Aramis was three, his parents left him with his grandfather and grandmother to take a business trip to Menekhet. There, they contracted a deadly sleeping sickness. They were rushed back to Terre D’Ange, but died in the crossing. Aramis does not remember them, but there is a place in his heart that still feels the loss.
Aramis grew up around dozens of relatives, learning wit and cunning from each one. He has the gift of reading cracks in the soul like many of his cousins. By the time he was fourteen, he was a skilled swordsman, jockey, and cardplayer. When he was eighteen, his parent’s will for him came into effect: He should go to the City of Elua and take over the business they left. Aramis did so, but with a slight change: He hired others to trade for him. His shop, Shahrizai and Sons, deals in foreign foods, making them available to common people. This has made him a bit old before his time. Like most of his relatives, he enjoys spending time at Valerian House, though he will occasionally visit Dahlia for sport, though his tastes do vary with his mood. It comes from running a shop of foreign foods. He believes that what is learned from other houses can be brought back to one's native tastes to make it more interesting. Kushiel's blood does, however, run strong in his veins.
