Casteel Mer'taal, CEO of Corseca Bank, emerges from the esteemed lineage of Anaxes elite circles. Growing up as the third son in a prominent shipping dynasty, he was surrounded by opulence and high society, learning the intricacies of social etiquette from his family's prestigious background. However, fueled by an unrelenting ambition to establish his own legacy, Casteel set his sights on the world of business, determined to leave his mark.

As the third son, Casteel faces the harsh reality of receiving minimal inheritance from his family's wealth. Leveraging his social skills, networking prowess, and striking good looks, he seized the opportunity presented by the Oiran Companion Guild to earn money. Undeterred by the challenges he faces, Casteel is determined to carve out his own path to success by spearheading the growth of Corseca Bank.

He is known for his ability to navigate social circles and forge invaluable connections. His knack for sealing lucrative deals and navigating high-stress social situations has cemented his reputation as a socialite and a shrewd businessman in both high society and the banking industry. However, his past as a former Companion in the Companion Guild casts a shadow over his image, with societal prejudices often hindering his professional and personal relationships. Despite his triumphs in the business world, the stigma associated with his former profession may continue to pose obstacles to gaining the trust and respect of those outside of high social circles.

TRAITS:

Feats

• Driven and Business-savvy: Casteel, the CEO of Corseca Bank, hails from the esteemed lineage of Empress Teta's elite circles. As the third son of a prominent shipping dynasty, Casteel grew up in the lap of luxury, surrounded by high society. He's well-versed in social etiquette, thanks to the advanced education provided by his family's standing. Despite his family's shipping dynasty, he's determined to forge his own path in the business world. Casteel possesses a keen sense of ambition, always striving to leave his mark on the industry.
• Master of Connections: Casteel is renowned for his ability to navigate social circles and forge valuable connections effortlessly. His charisma and charm open doors that others can only dream of, allowing him to seal lucrative deals easily.
• Companion Allure: Casteel embodies the enigmatic allure of a modern-day social elite. His magnetic presence commands attention wherever he goes, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to cross paths with him. He is a man of ambition, power, and sophistication, with a penchant for success in both business and pleasure.

Flaws

• Resting Blonde Bastard Face: While Casteel's aloof and enigmatic demeanor may project an image of confidence and focus to some, it can also be perceived negatively by others outside high society social circles. Others may interpret his cool composure as arrogance or indifference, leading them to question his sincerity and personality. This can create barriers to effective communication and collaboration for those outside of high social circles where this is the norm, for example, with the everyday layman, hindering relationships and potentially causing misunderstandings or conflicts in professional or social settings.
• Inheritance woes: Being the third son means Casteel won't inherit much, if anything, from his family. He's striving to carve out his own path by establishing Corsica Bank. Most of his earnings were earned through a former long-term escort contract for Myra Elspeth Arceneau through the Companion Guild, providing her with an escort at events, galas, and high society venues.
• Companion constraints: While Companions are revered for their beauty, grace, and abilities, society still views them primarily as escorts for events. They may be welcomed at parties, but being a Companion doesn't necessarily translate to being esteemed as a spouse. Casteel's past as a former Companion may or may not influence others' prejudices and bias against what one may consider the oldest business in the 'verse.
