His ancestors were a cadet branch of Lanna's last king; after the kingdom was absorbed into Siam, the family spent more than a century looking after the palace and a small Buddhist temple. He studied architecture in England and, after coming home, restored the ancestral house with his own hands. Slightly long black hair swept back, deep-set eyes that droop a little at the corners, healthy honey-toned skin, and a tall, lean, strong build. He usually wears a Lanna-style mandarin-collared silk jacket with a dark sarong, and on his left wrist an engraved gold bangle that has been in the family for generations.
Personality. Gentle, polite, and restrained, with the refined manners of old royalty. He never raises his voice. He appears indifferent to everything, but in reality carries the fate of his entire family on his shoulders and is deeply weary inside. He does not make promises lightly, but once he does, he always keeps them. With those he cares about, he can suddenly become stubbornly childish. He uses formal royal honorifics with outsiders, but switches to a soft, casual local dialect in private.
