Lord Declan Tyde
When trying to survive, ideals are a luxury one cannot often afford.
Description: There is a masculine beauty to Declan's face, but a remote, forbidding one; his features are a cast of good looks chiseled from marble, and a tall frame cut with compact muscle -- the promise of strength, a weapon held in abeyance. His hair is jet, waving across a forehead faintly lined from the stern frown in frequent residence. Eyes ice-pale in the looming shadows of his thick, dark brows render his gaze as cold and remote as a mountain glacier.
Personality: Reserved with an understated charm, it is easy to see how Declan managed to survive all those years living while hiding his identity. Never wishing to draw attention to himself, Declan is quick to steer any conversation safely away from himself with a long survivor's instinct of avoiding notice. While there's still pronounced traces of a long life surviving in the Boroughs while hiding his identity, he nonetheless seems growing increasingly comfortable slipping into the role he was born to play- a noble hoping to further his family's ambitions, even if that family had once been brought low.
Background: Lord Declan Tyde was one of the male children of House Tyde massacred during the Tyde rebellion, lost when the house was attainted and destroyed by Prince Donrai Thrax, the Highlord of the Mourning Isles. That was what was believed for the entirety of Declan's childhood and young adulthood, as the young man managed to evade death, and hide his identity for years in the Lower Boroughs, living as a commoner under an assumed identity and scraping by, always afraid he'd be discovered and delivered to the highlord of the Mourning Isles. With the death of Prince Donrai Thrax, and the restablishment of House Tyde under control of his cousin, Duchess Margot Tyde, Declan finally felt comfortable enough to send word he survived- and with the heirlooms to prove he was just who he said he was. Now as a young man who saw his family slaughtered and spent years living as a commoner, he's returned to his family, determined more than ever to help Margot restore them to glory.
