Personal history

The eldest son of a noble family, Piper lived a sheltered life within the walls of Cioppino Castle. Because of his overprotective parents, he was rarely allowed outside without any supervision, and grew obsessed with tales from faraway places. One day, he grew restless, and snuck past the guards, donning a thick cloak and scarf as a makeshift disguise. While exploring the city of Zalfari, he met a young boy named Kestrel, who not only recognized him, but also claimed to be his long-lost brother. Suspicious but curious, after staying to chat for a while, Piper finally returned home and, for the first time in his life, he confronted his parents. After scolding him for leaving the estate, Piper's father Rowan reluctantly admitted that the boy's allegations were true, and that he'd been conceived out of wedlock during a tryst between himself and a woman named Celosia Thermidore. With this newfound knowledge, Piper began taking weekly trips to Zalfari, this time accompanied by a few of his closest retainers. Many months passed, and Piper and Kestrel became nearly inseparable. Due to Piper's endless persistance, Kestrel was officially acknowledged as a member of the Cioppino dynasty, and he and his mother were invited to live on their estate. Although Celosia respectfully declined, with her permission, Kestrel accepted the offer, and has been a part of Piper's family ever since. He became Piper's first real friend and closest confidant, and after seeing how much his brother longed to for freedom, he convinced Piper to follow his heart and join the traveling diplomat class, much to his parents' dismay. Ever since that day (and possibly even beforehand), Piper's mother Petunia has viewed Kestrel as a bad influence.
