Duelist, dancer, and son of the striking drake. Now Lisinthir Lauvet Imthereli. Currently Third in the Chatcaavan Empire.
Physical Appearance
Stands 6'3"[1], with a typically slender, elongated Eldritch build and white hair that falls to his thighs. His face is angular with a pointed chin and sharp nose; he has a scar bisecting his right eyebrow. Lisinthir's eyes are an unusually dark shade of sapphire. He bears grey scars on his chest, back, flanks and arms from the Chatcaavan Emperor's testing, as well as multiple duels and one memorable fight aboard a Chatcaavan starship. His voice is baritone; he plays several instruments and can sing, but not at a professional caliber. He dresses elegantly for every occasion, whether it be traditional Eldritch clothing for court, Chatcaavan robes and trousers or hot outfits for clubbing. His personal scent is reminiscent of ambergris.

"If we do not resist society when it is stupid, we allow it to march to its destruction. Societies evolve, just as people do. They mature; they see the follies of their childhood years and amend their behavior. When a people's traditions and customs do not serve its survival, they must change." [4]
"I fled the homeworld's safety for the Empire, if you'll recall. I am hardly one to judge you for leaning into the knife."[5]

History/Bio
Lisinthir Nase Galare is the only son of Malavi Nase Galare and Korval Keldi Imthereli. A superb swordsman, he was probably trained by Shorivan Fol, a legendary swordsman in the north. As a child, Lisinthir was raised in a hostile and loveless environment, often used by his parents as a weapon against one another. In later years, he reveals to his cousin and lover, Jahir Seni Galare, that his parents never gave him a milk-name or love-name, the shortened version of a child's formal name used by intimates and bestowed as a mark of love; Jahir gifts him with the name Lin.
As a youth Lisinthir had three minor affairs, having been chased by the women in question. Two wanted money, and their interactions were minor and not consummated fully; one wanted a baby, and her husband had not been capable, and that one wasn't a fertile union but they dallied. [7]
An excellent huntsman, Lisinthir chose upon entering adulthood to reside alone in a hunting lodge his mother bequeathed to him, attended by his butler Pellen. He spent his time afield on his ugly but reliable horse, Dart, hunting for meat and pelts to feed his mother's household and pay the servants. (usually thicket boar and ice deer) Forced under threat by his father to attend court -- introduced too late in age to be considered an important player -- Lisinthir was charged to secure a wife who would be able to bear a child to re-establish House Imthereli and restore his father's pride of position. Instead, he arrived with a massive chip on his shoulder and spent his time dueling nobles whom he thought had insulted him or his House, never losing and establishing a reputation for ruthless aggression unbounded by House alliances. Queen Liolessa recognized his restive nature and his desperation to be used to his potential; in response to the Alliance's request, sent him as Ambassador to the Chatcaavan Empire.
