Jaeghar Trevelyan, the youngest of five brothers and sisters, has more than enjoyed life in his very youth and widely used (for good or not) his privileges in his very youth, without never neglecting the duties. Duties that may require sacrifices, like not being able to choose his wife, but that he always had at heart to accomplish, duties incumbent upon a son to his paternal, a noble to his Lord, a man of high lineage in respect of his name and for his house, the Trevelyan; for honor and glory, power and wealth, that the ambitions of all the nobles seek absolutely.
From a powerful family in the Free Marches, whose links with the Chantry are so profound that they have become inextricable, his birth, his rank, his condition and the environment in which he was wet, then bathed his whole life, thus inevitably shaped, built and then forged the man Jaeghar Trevelyan is today. The austere education, very applied and followed, both religious and supercilious as received the young noble does not allow any doubt about the origins deeply rooted in a rigorous piety and daily practice of faith, Jaeghar being totally devoted to the worship of Andraste although he never make a show of it most of the time, unless the circumstances require it as well.
Like any good son of noble Ostwick he received military training, went on many campaigns to crush many enemies whatsoever ( bandits and pirates on the coast as as a tempory mercenary ) and motivations opposed to those he serves, on behalf of the House trevelyan, or for the good and safety of Ostwick.
Who is Jaeghar ? Certainly not a Prince or a Knight in shinning armor.
A good man, maybe, maybe not, not always at least, but a dangerous man for sure. Very flawed, very human. A sweet, charming, and nice guy in private, with his family, friends, lovers, allies and servants, but a cold, dark, implacable, cunning and devious man in public affairs, noble politics and war campaigns.
In love matters he is passionate, romantic, his heart having more effect on him than his brain, willing to accomplish anything for his partner, loving spending private moments with his lover. Loyal to death to his friends, family or those that serve him well like the servants, and able to forgive many faults when it comes to them, totally aware that he is himself full of faults. The only thing he cannot forgive however is not doing its duty or betraying him.
On the contrary, Jaeghar is all about ice when dealing with issues and politics, pragmatic, tough, ruthless, and who doesn't joke when it comes to duty, always serious, ( expect when he has to make jokes or dirty jokes ) able to make sacrifices if needed. He does not hesitate to be selfish if it can serves his own ambitions and he has no pity against all or any enemy, rival or opponent.
Jaeghar is an ambitious noble, always scheming, unscrupulous, imbued with itself, and jealous of his blood and of his rank, proud of his name and his house. ( though he can very generous with the common folks )
Just as much a soldier and a strict military commander, jealous of his authority, a hard man of good management and administration, a gravedigger of incompetence and disorder. In war, there must be only room for victory in the minds and hearts and the dedication to ensure it promptly and efficiently for him.
In the field of intimacy and privacy, he is a cultured man, educated, devoted to his wife or lover, his children (if he has ones in the future ), and his family, although liberal and adventurous in the sexual practices, undoubtedly faithful in love.
What he likes: Jaeghar is a fervent admirer of Orlais, he loves their fashion, clothes, fabrics and culture, he likes to be well dressed, even in armor. He always makes sure to always have the best weapons from the forges and to appear to his best advantage whatever he bears and the use made of it. ( but he also loves adventures, walking in the mud, sleeping on the floor, breathing vile odors in the campaigns, galloping on his horse and hacking bandits, splashed by their blood on his armor ) The noble takes a lot of fun from tournaments and competitions, vibrates feverishly with dances, music, swells of wonder at the sight of painted sculptures and galleries, can not live without music and wine. Warfare is also rewarding for him as well as the intrigues and politicians blows. He appreciates humor and particularly dirty jokes, and even when it is to his detriment. Jaeghar has also a dark humor that might happen from time to time. But there is nothing he loves so much more than comfort, fighting, hunting, enjoying life, women, and to lead men. His interest in reading is diverse, his passions include the teachings of the Chantry of Andraste and history, he immerses himself in the stories of dragons and warden, and also takes great interest in some banned books which are smut.
What he dislikes: Nothing annoys him more than time wasted in vain and losing control of his agenda. He hates losing too, being tricked, being caught in his own game, do not tolerate insults against his family and the honor of his house. The dissension with the use of violence against the Chantry and all those who proclaim to be the enemies of Andraste. He might be tolerant with those who do not believe in the maker, but men like Anders blowing up a chantry and killing innocents will have zero chance to make him lenient. Betrayal is also something that Jaeghar cannot stand.
Please do so as well.
