GRAMARYE GIFT (if any): None
PERSONALITY:
Celio is a lawyer in every sense--he sees everything as an argument to be won and has a terrible time agreeing to disagree with anyone. He's very driven, and likes to succeed. It's not so much about winning as it is about being right. He's very committed to the idea that society really should be just, and if it's not, then he must fix it. He won't take on clients he doesn't agree with.
Socially Celio can be a bit awkward because of his tendency to be blunt. He's very perceptive and may notice things that people would prefer he didn't bring up. Crowds and parties make him nervous because he's sure to say something to make it weird. He's not one who enjoys small talk and doesn't have "talent which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done." (Pride and Prejudice) If he does, however, find you interesting, you'll find that he may nearly interrogate you, and will be happy to talk with you for hours.
He became well known in Venitzia for his dedication to his clients and willingness to work himself to the bone for what he believes is a just cause. After taking on several cases pro bono and helping to resolve some major conflicts among the judges in the city, he grew in popularity. Other lawyers often approach him for advice on how to handle their cases when they get stuck. Now that he is the exemplar, people from all over the district approach him with concerns and know that they can reach him any time he is needed because he essentially never stops working.
HISTORY:
Celio had a relatively normal childhood in Venitzia, Noistar. His mother was a singer from Creare, his father a lawyer from Venitzia. The two met when his mother was performing at a party for one of the judges, and they fell madly in love. They were doting parents and have always encouraged Celio to pursue his interests and education. His father is now a judge in the city who works on criminal cases, and father and son have lunch together every Monday.
Celio excelled in the academy as a teen, and returned immediately after his military service to complete a law degree. He has now been practicing law for a full decade. He loves his work.
