Notes on personality: -Sees races of Beast-folk and some Mer as degenerate and below humanity. -Is very fond of achieving power, but quite unsure of what he would do with it. -Insensitive to other cultures or customs he is not familiar with, very set in his own ways. -Values a person by their power or wealth, nothing else. -Considers himself to be more intelligent and sophisticated than his peers, and definitely more than the people of Anvil. -A bit of a repository of useless facts about history and such. -Views any quest he's in to be about him only, the values and wants of others don't matter if he's not getting what he wants. -Will only fight when it suits him, otherwise will try to solve all his problems with money or let others work for him. Background: If you ask any member of house Valeres, they will state that their family had been a strong, if quiet house within the upper-echelons of Imperial City society since the dawn of the Septim Empire. However, the truth is much less glamorous. Allectus's father, Sigmund, was a simple worker struggling to maintain ownership of a house in the Imperial City. He narrowly avoided conscription and found himself in a minor administrative position at the advent of the Great War. Taking advantage of casualties of the war, Sigmund grabbed power and stepped into the political vacuum. Surviving the occupation of the City, Sigmund birthed a son and raised his family to political prominence in post-war Cyrodiil. Taking the name, Sigmus Valeres, he elevated into the noble Imperial society. Allectus was born within the Imperial City as it rebuilt itself and his father sought out more political power for himself. Being an opportunist, Sigmus Valeres collected a number of estates from those lost to the war. His son would be raised by a disconnected mother and disinterested house-staff, causing him to spend most of his time by himself, learning to read at an early age and getting lost in his books ever since. At age 13, Allectus was offered as an aid to a Cyrodillic nobleman in the rebuilt city of Kvatch. This man would serve as a father figure to the young boy, rather than his actual father who simply used the boy as a means to furthering his own influence. Allectus would since look fondly back on his time in Kvatch, where he learned how to hunt, fight with a blade, and received a proper education for the son of a nobleman. He also would be taught the valuable lessons of leadership, politics, and other elements important only to the elite. At 19, Allectus was called back to the Imperial City to live with his father. The elder Valeres payed for extensive swordsmanship lessons for the young man. He would soon find himself in a variety of fencing competitions, achieving some notability among the ruling aristocracy of Cyrodiil and attending various social functions with his father. Under his mentorship, Allectus perused an early political career, being given small positions within the city such as "Waterfront Customs Officer," and later, "Junior Minister of Trade." Aside all the opportunities, he found himself easily bored with administration and perused woman and festivities as preferred to a political career. For a number of years Allectus would sit around, hosting grand parties and basking in the fruits of his father's ambition. After a few encounters, the elder Valeres would do all he could to remove his son from the city and it's temptations. A man like Allectus could only stand the isolation of the family estate for so long, and he soon payed for an escort to the city of Avil in pursuit of a cure to his boredom. With a large chunk of his father's money and his tailored armor, the Imperial struck out on his own for the first time.
