High Fae | Avalon | Assassin | Queen's Domain
“Some things can only be seen from the shadows.”
______________________________________________________
Dunestar is a name that most in the fae realm know very well. Being bred of hte purest Unseelie bloodline, it’s no surprise that they have a reputation for being a formidable house, ruthless, cunning, and incredibly dangerous. Luckily, their loyalty to the throne has always been unwavering, to the point where many Dunestars have served as advisers and consorts to the royal family. That being said, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Daemon himself became a very prevelent figure in the court.
As a child, he’d always been eager to serve his people the way his parents did. The problem with Daemon, however, was that much like many other Dunestar fae, he’s always marched to the beat of his own drum. He’s never been the type to blindly follow orders if he didn’t understand or agree with them. He had a rebellious and independent spirit, which made his initial attempts to join the queen’s army as a soldier futile. Group think and co-op missions tended to be problematic for him. He had a horrible habbit of going rogue and disrupting the moral of his squad, though it seemed his quick thinking, cunning, and perhaps genral luck always seemed to get the mission back on track. Unfortunately, that didn’t sit well with his captains, and time after time, despite his inherently strong ability to manipulate and travel through shadows, his exceptional marksman ship and skilled hand to hand combat, he was constantly transferred.
Despite the negative reputation he’d manage to develop, his abilities, his family name, and his loyalty to his queen didn’t go unnoticed. When the vampmire threat truly began to garner the attention of the realm, it was the HIgh Queen herself who beckoned the Dunestar house to send their oldest son to her. She had heard of his unorthodox methods of doing things, and how effective he was. Against the counsel of her advisers, she charged him with a mission. A powerful vampire general was in the process of leading a small band of vampires through Everwood. She charged Daemon with the impossible task of finding the vampire force, seeking out the general, and eliminating him. Despite the dangers it posed and the impossible odds, Daemon, loyal to his queen, accepted the order and was off.
It came as a shock to many when the fae returned to the palace with news that the general had been slain, and it was at that moment he became the queens royal assassin. With that title, the only person he truly answered to was his queen. It seemed to be the perfect position for him. He no longer had to worry about following any sort of protocol, working with others in a team was no longer a necessity, and he thrived.
Despite his profession, Daemon is actually a rather charismatic guy, and has no problem developing bonds, garnering trust in unlikely places. He has an off beat, roguish sense about him that most people tend to be drawn to. While he can be arrogant, apathetic, and pragmatic, he’s incredibly loyal to his queen, his family, and the people close to him.
