About Damien Rhomanos

Damien was born a bastard to his famous mother Cassie DuSollier who was a foreigner to Cheliax having fled the continual upheaval within her own country of Galt. She found a lucrative career in the performing arts as a dancer and caught the eye of one very married Duke Leto Rhomanos.

Leto's wife Kimefe was furious when Leto chose to recognize Damien as his offspring. In order to distance him from the family, Kimefe convinced Leto to send Damien abroad for his education once he was old enough that Leto would allow it. Conveniently, Damien's mother had met a new beau, one Baron Gigus of Ustalav and so he departed with her. During his years there, it came to pass another Rhomanos had also ended up there, Alessandra the youngest of six legitimately born children to Leto and Kimefe Rhomanos, she had come to Ustalav on a tour abroad of all the large opera theaters in which she had her heart set on performing.

To the absolute horror of her mother Kimefe (though admittedly it was months if not almost a year before she ever knew), Alessandra found a kinship with her half-brother Damien and the two became inseparable. They traveled together for a while and finally returned to Cheliax where Alessandra obtained her dream of singing opera. Very beautiful and quite savvy, Alessandra has reached popularity and fame for her talents. Damien has become her defacto manager, confidant, and trusted with all things nefarious that she needs, some with her full knowledge and much that she does not. Damien has certainly obtained his own street reputation. and it is well known that any who lust for Alessandra's performances, attention, or love must first deal with him.

One thing to note about both of these Rhomanos spawn is the family was extremely committed to siring heirs and testing them with extreme levels of intrigue and assassination attempts. As a result, both Alessandra and Damien are well versed in reading between the lines and rather very careful when dealing with anyone.

Damien is nobody's fool. He knows exactly how tenuous his position is and that if ever the good graces of his sister should fade, he would indeed find himself in a bad place. If only there were some other means to maintain the lifestyle to which he had chosen to live...
