ABOUT TRISTON ::- Triston is the second-born son to Arden deGrey and Anne Demarais-deGrey. He had always been interested in learning to fight from a very young age. He trained since he was five years old. While his family tried to hold him back until he was a bit older to begin learning, Triston refused and would sneak into the training area anyway. The teacher relented and taught him anyway. He trained for most of his life until he was old enough to join an army where he moved up in the ranks rather quickly, because of his persistence, and eventually became a general.
- Triston was always determined to make a name for himself. He worked hard and tried to succeed in everything he did. But after moving up in the ranks in the military, he felt like he needed to do something else, especially if and when war was never involved. He became involved in politics and eventually landed himself a spot on the royal council for his cousin, king Edward.
- He had met Eleesa while he started to get involved in the court politics and he quickly took a liking to her, perhaps even falling for her. They had become close friends, or maybe something more, and talked and spent time together. He had always been afraid to tell her of his feelings, but he couldn’t hide the way he looked at her or that she made him smile whenever he saw her. He had even been prepared to ask her father for her hand in marriage, but found out that she was to be betrothed to Edward, prince of Tresteria who was in line to become king. He was no match for a king, he felt, so he regretfully let her go.
- Triston threw all of his focus into serving in the army, training and getting involved in politics whenever he could. He was unwilling to give up, unwilling to give his heart to anyone else out of fear that he would never be good enough for anyone, or that he would lose out on his opportunity whenever he let his heart fall for anyone else. He couldn’t handle that pain again.
- Triston is very intelligent, and while he is a great politician and council member, he also thrives and enjoys creating war strategies and executing them as if it were an art. Though he focuses more on politics and the council now, he would be ready and willing to jump into battle if needed. He still trains whenever he can, as much as he can.
- While he may seem to have a simple history, he is far from a simple man. Because he grew up as the second son, he inherited the need to constantly prove himself worthy of everything he did. He is stubborn and has a can-do attitude, never giving up (even if he probably should at times). This got him into trouble at times, unfortunately, but he would live up to his mistakes and fix them when he could.
