--------------------
Cecil Rosencrad is a tall and lean half-elven man who appears quite young for his age. Handsome, he has fair skin, short but shaggy blonde hair, and a handsome nose. He has one blue eye and one green eye, both peering out from behind circular lensed spectacles.
His clothing is simple, common day fare, with a notable ink spatters on the cuffs of his sleeves. A tightly bound spellbook is kept in a leather sleeve on the back of his belt.
Though fairly attractive, he definitely has the look of someone who regularly forgets to eat, and is quite skinny and lean. He has long slender fingers and ink stains on the sides of his hands near his pinky fingers.
Cecil does not smile. Things do not amuse him, though his face does have laugh lines. Nowadays he just looks tired and vaguely upset.

Cecil has recently succeeded at rescuing his daughter and even connecting to her when she came to him to teach her magic. His ability to spend more time with her dovetailing with his own career has made life easier by leaps and bounds. He also has done work for the watch, helping with issues they didn't really have any other recourse to fix. It's paid well and provided him with even more magic to add to his knowledge. It was dangerous, but he's been especially careful to not leave his daughter without a father again.

He's even started writing again, this latest of his romance called "Hippogryph's Heir", and features a certain knight-captain of the watch and a handsome but dangerous hippogryph rider with a dark past.
--------------------
1) I'd like 5+ points that capture the concept and story of the character.
1-He was a Novelist before this point-Trained in magical spells, but has been making a living writing books.
2-He had a daughter with a human woman, but they've become split (mutual agreement)
3-The daughter lived with his ex-wife, until she had been kidnapped by Gaedren Lamm. He was alerted to this only after his ex-wife went to the guard.
4-He has since stopped writing, and instead devoted all his time to finding and rescuing his daughter.
5-Staying 'good' alignment is getting harder on his as time passes, where he is getting desperate and willing to take more and more drastic measures to rescue his daughter.

2) Two goals that you'd like the character to accomplish in-game.
1-Rescue his daughter (or find closure if she's dead).
2-Put an end to the operations that use kids like this.

3) Two secrets, one the PC keeps to himself, and one kept from the PC.
1-He should have been able to prevent his daughter's kidnapping. She was supposed to spend the weekend with him, but he had turned it down because he was trying to complete a manuscript by the deadline and refused to see anyone.
2-He doesn't know that his daughter had in fact run away from home that weekend, not actually been kidnapped. She had been picked up by Gaedren, but not out of her home like he had been told. She had been upset about their divorce and hated him for chosing work over her.

4) 3-5 people that are tied to your PC by blood, love, rivalry, honor, etc.
1-His daughter Celise. (Love)
2-His ex-wife Maggie (Uncertain love)
3-Gaedren, the rotten bastard (quite certain hate)
4-The watch captain for his area of town (despised, at-odds)

5) Three key memories that define your character as the person they are at the time of submission.
1-The disappearance of his daughter
2-His study of magic
3-The first time he successfully made money writing a novel
