Name: Conte Milo de Vitorrio
Age: 27
Height: 5'9
Gender: Male
Race: Caerdicci/D'Angeline (Eisandrine)
Home Province/Nation: Caerdiccia Unitas
Appearance: If one could say anything about charismatic Milo, its that he's by no means less then handsome. His hair is such a dark brown that its more comparable to black then anything else. The same can be said for his eyes, a brown so deep they're black and deep like never ending pools of water. Though more lithe then anything he has a muscular upper body that has come from years of military training, a form more then appealing by anyone's standards. His characteristics favour both his Caerdicci and his D'Angeline background, though his Caerdicci genes are more pronounced then his D'Angeline.
History: Born of two different worlds, Milo has had quite the upbringing. Though no more unique then most of the peers his age or of his background, but to Milo they were a wonderful experience he's grateful for everything he has.
Milo's mother, Almandine d'Kieve was raised at her family's seat in Eisande. The eldest of two girls, Alma came from a family of no title but much wealth and her father wished his only children to marry into title for safety's sake. So, like a the dutiful daughters they were, both girls married into prominent family's. Alma, at 19 years old, chose to go east to Caerdicci Unitas where she married Montonio de Vitorrio. Her sister traveled west and wed an Aragonian diplomat.
There was no doubt that Montonio and Alma's marriage was an arranged marriage, but neither seemed to care, nor did it matter as far as their love went. And though Montonia was many years her senior, 30 years to be exact, it didn't seem to get in the way of their love life. In truth the pair was well suited and neither was regretful of their time together.
They had three children in the span of their twenty four year marriage, Milo the oldest and heir. His sister Marita only two years his younger, and Luciana at sixteen.
Milo was a calm and studious boy growing up, always did his lessons, always prompt and clean, and always quiet. At first, when the boy first began to walk and progress like other children his age, his speech seemed lacking and his parents feared that he was slow or deficient in some manner. But as he grew older it became more aware that he simply liked to think before speaking, for when he did speak, he would surprise people by his vast intelligence. A lover of the written word, Milo could be found reading books in his favorite tree or watching the herds and noting their actions in his journal.
His mother blamed his nature on her long ago deceased grandfather whom Milo resembled greatly in personality and it was often heard Alma commenting on the boy; "If he was still alive they'd be inseparable."
True or not Milo accepted his Eisandrine history and on more then one occasion gave use to his abilities to sooth and heal.
Of his father's background Milo developed both a flare for being hot tempered as well as the capacity for extreme loyalty. Something that both saved him and got him into trouble on many occasions in his youth.
But Milo is a loving soul that cares deeply for his family, he loves his two sister's greatly and is the best big brother to both, even when they don't require or want it.
Trained in military style since he was five, his father being a member of the military himself and it being the tradition for men in their country, is proficient in most all fighting styles as well as horse back ridding (another one of his favourite pastimes), swordplay and strategy.
He's traveled most of Caerdicci Unitas, Terre d'Ange and Aragonia even being fostered at his Aunt and Uncle's in Aragonia for many summers. Though not a word smith by any means, he speaks passable Aragonian and Alban as well as flawless D'Angeline and Caerdicci.
Not all of Milo's life as been calm and yielding though, it is now passing the 8 year anniversary of his beloved father's death...the death that gave him the title of Conte that he bares now.
But even in the shadow of his father's death he can not be too sad, for two years after her husband's death Alma remarried, this time to the Vicomte d'Kieve in Eisande. Back in her native home land she and her new husband raise their first son together, Milo's six year old half brother Fredric d'Kieve.
Through this new venture of his mother life, Milo has felt a pulling to Terre d'Ange, especially after his sister Marita married an Azzallese ship captain. Leaving his younger sister to continue with her studies on their estate, Milo will venture to the capital city of Terre d'Ange.
