Saverio Astagon

Saverio Astagon was a male knight of, and the youngest son of the Titus Astagon. He was born in his father's palatial manor on, but spent most of his childhood at a smaller family holding on.

Saverio's older sisters and brother were expected to inherit much of their father's position, but Saverio excelled at developing contacts and making useful friends, both at school and in the following years before reaching thirty, the age of majority for a noble. His elder brother and oldest sister were granted baronies upon reaching the age of majority, and Saverio sought to excel in his father's area of expertise—intelligence—to prove his worth to the senior nobles as well. He joined the during the Tapani Conflict, by which time he had already developed a respectable network of informers and become the confidant of several of his influential peers.

As a naval officer in the ostensibly neutral House Mecetti, Saverio saw no combat, although he was allowed to attend his father at the Procopia Summit. There he interacted with Evangelia Maxico, the adopted daughter of Lord Offul Grant. The two worked together sporadically over the next year as Evangelia oversaw disarmament of the warring houses and both turned thirty, becoming full adults in the nobility. Evangelia was common-born, but had already proven herself capable; she was also secretly a senior member of the, and so Lord Titus did nothing to dissuade his son from interacting with her, feeling the connection might be useful both to equip his youngest child for success in the future and as a potential way to undermine Lord Grant if the need arose.

Appearance and personality
Saverio had a fit build from consistent exercise, though not athletic, and stood 1.75 meters tall. He had rust-colored hair and green eyes.

Though born to privilege and wealth, Saverio was the fourth of four children and felt he had to work harder than his older siblings to earn his place in the Mecetti noble hierarchy. He had a talent for making people feel he was interested, even when he wasn't, and consequently developed numerous connections and earned the trust of other young nobles. Though he learned not to trust quickly and carefully kept himself from becoming emotionally invested in most people or problems, he was genuinely fond of those few who became close to him. He was also loyal to his family and planned to use his skills and influence to help them advance.
