Mental characteristics
Personal history
Prince Roger Ramius Sergei Alexander Vorclaf III was born on the Seventh day of the Fourth Month, One Hundred Seventy One years after the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.
From an early age, Roger was trained in every aspect his father felt was necessary for a future king, ranging from falconry and archery, to dance and, much to his chagrin, even music and oration. But Roger's passion lay in warfare, and his aptitude for strategem quickly came to the fold during the Ogre Invasions in the year 200.
Roger had taken up training with a sect of paladins devoted to Chadatru , one of The Thirteen , a God devoted to Warfare and Justice. Serving as a squire and working his way upwards, by the time of the invasions, he was a seasoned Knight in his own right.
Several skirmishes tested his mettle during the Ogre invasions, and, though it was not Roger's hand which slew the Ogre King, Naark, it was a plan he and several of his brethren set in motion.
A few months later, after it became apparent that a standing army, and not just a militia force, was necessary for Zoluren's defense, the Zoluren Expeditionary Force was founded with the Crown Prince as their first Commander. He retained this position for nearly eight years until resigning upon the death of his father and his subsequent ascendency.

Sexuality
Though Roger remains unmarried, he had taken a mistress in the form of a Half-Elven woman named Lindryl, the daughter of wealthy merchants from the isles. Their relationship has produced two heirs, a daughter named Ariella, a girl of nine, and her older brother, the Crown Prince Roger Ramius Sergei Alexander Vorclaf IV, who recently celebrated his twelfth year.
However, this union was severed in 221AV when she killed both of their children and attempted to murder him in a failed coup.

Education
Roger was a student of almost every topic from a young age, with tutors from almost every race, religion, and background imaginable. If his father felt a teacher had something to offer, they remained on staff as long as they continued to be of use. He is a graduate of Gorran Institute, a full-fledged Weaponmaster, having gone through the rigorous training to become a sword, blade, and blunt-master, a task which took nearly 8 years of intensive and exhaustive work.
Personality Characteristics
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Roger leads from the front; every skirmish and battle which comes to Zoluren's shores, you'll find the King leading his men. While he excels in strategy, he lives for the thrill of battle and is most often at the head of the column, the first man through the breach.
Bravery and stupidity are often the same coin, with a very thin line between it's faces.
