Appearance
Physical Description
Corpulent beyond reason, and proud of it. The space he takes up is unquestionably his. An immensly tall and broad frame to boot makes for an imposing form.
Facial Features
An immaculetly waxed mustache and a collection of different monocles rattle about his neck to help with his near-sight. Even a slight smile reveals the gleam of silver teeth- an expensive body modification to allow the fluanting of wealth at all times. Most pernounced however are his puffy and pouting lips, which have been turned deep blue by the silver.
Apparel & Accessories
While Bernard displays his wealth all across his body, a particular focus hangs about his neck in both his collection of monocles and a rather ornate gem-laden amulet.
To keep in fashion with trends (and to help his poor mobility) Bernard also carrys about a beautifully crafted cane to help him walk. It seems to be made of matching silver to his teeth.
Special abilities
Barnard has an uncanny knowledge of illuminism and its history and relics, abel to call upon deep troves of trivia for such a niche topic.
Mentality
Education
Bernard is clearly a man of letters, but no one seems to know where he would have studied considering he is not from the city originally. Regardless, he is a master of caligraphy and literature.
Employment
Bernard, like any young child of a landowner, has undertaken elements of managment for the family estate. Moreso than in most families perhaps.
Morality & Philosophy
They say to never make a poor man rich, but it has worked wonders for young Bernard. Too much is never enough, and who would he be to not revel in the oppertunities granted to him by his family's sudden change in fortune? Life is meant to be enjoyed loudly and unsubtly.
person.sexuality
This rake is a well known frequenter of all houses of ill repute, from common brothels to dens of highly paid escorts. His open frivality and sexuality for both men and women has earned him the reputation of a lustful neerdowell. Nobility should never openly engage in such acts, and if they do they should never be honest about paying for it, and least of all they shouldn't be proud of it!
Personality
Virtues & Personality perks
Bernard is one of the few members of high society not based on blood but on gold, which grants him a wider perspective than most. For good or ill, he knows the nature of the illusion of power and where it lies.
Surprisingly to some Bernard is also one of the most devout members of court, attending church weekly to discuss the nature of illuminism and the secrets of the light. He often makes large donations to the foundation out of penence for his other actions.
Vices & Personality flaws
It is hard to call what Bernard has a vice, for it is indulged so shamelessly. The man is utterly unbecoming of his station with how much he indulges in food, drink and pleasure. He has a venomous tongue and is unafraid to spout rude languege and japes at those who grant him disdain. Its hard to say he doesn't look like he's having the time of his life though...
Hygiene
As a person who can afford top notch hygiene in both time and money, Bernard endulges in lavish days at the spa and long nights and mornings of self-care routines.

Speech
Bernards voice is rich and deep, perfect for booming across the room in rocus laughter and speaking in a crowded hall.
