Background:
Cesare was born on the eaves of the Verduran forest into a poor knightly family with little to their name beyond the memories of ancient deeds in the Armies of Exploration and the Shining Crusade. Strong and charismatic, he learned early that he had an affinity for the natural world, but his heart was wrapped up in tales of Taldor's mighty past.
When he was old enough, his father traded the last of the family's favors to get Cesare admitted to the Rhapsodic College, where he learned to use his voice and presence to great effect. However, Cesare eschewed the offers of positions at some of the great courts of the Inner Sea in order to pursue his own vision of blending the power of song and steel together in a form of combat so elegant it was an art unto itself.
Realizing he could never achieve a great place in Taldan society without taking risks, Cesare determined to make his fame and fortune in the Pathfinder Society.
Personality:
Cesare is a big, brash and charismatic man who finds it easy to make friends, lovers, allies and patrons. It would be easy enough to hate a man like that if he wasn't so likeable and friendly with everyone he meets.
Cesare's goals in life are fame and fortune and this drives him to reckless choices and an aggressive response to danger. His behavior has been noted by his superiors in the Society, but so far he has been successful both at his missions and in negotiating the politics of the Society.
