Michael Rosenthal

History
Michael Rosenthal, twin brother of Katherine Rosenthal. The young man was born on the end of winter, along with his sister. It is unknown which one of them came from the womb first, as their father kept it a secret hidden from the twins since birth

Michael along with his sister were raised within the capital of Carim, Castrum until the age of thirteen. Upon their thirteenth name day the two who had once been near inseparable were split up as tradition demanded. Michael would be fostered among several of the northern lords, learning the culture and warrior like ways of the northern peoples. Such ways hardened the boy turning him into a young man. At the age of fifteen Michael would slay his first man. An Amrothian raider that had come to burn down one of the many small hold fasts within the kingdom.

It was upon the fields of battle and the boisterous courts of the northern lands that Michael learned the true meaning of leadership. Learning when to hold his own or give into the demands of others. Unlike the bureaucratic southerners Michael believes in the divinity of the monarchy and the absolute rule of the Emperor.

Recent History

Appearance
Michael is a sinewy young man of wide shoulders and great height as all Caesians are. His eyes are a pale blue, that shimmer like ice beneath the water's surface. All the while his hair is the color of wispy snow, blowing in the wind, giving him a ghost like appearance even among other Caesians.
