alignmentKlas does whatever he can get away with, as long as it seems like it's a good idea. He is out for himself and sheds no tears for those he harms - be it for profit, sport, or convenience. While he cares about tradition, loyalty, and order, he does not care about freedom, dignity, or life. He tends to prefer order, as opposed to chaos, and lacks a restless nature that may drive others to create conflict. He does not always play by the rules, however he does believe his word to be binding. He follows his own moral compass, which may not agree with those around him.
strengthsDespite a wealthy upbringing, Klas is an excellent businessman and extremely persuasive. He tends to utilize good looks and pure charm to get his way, however he is fully capable of spouting off statistics to win someone over. He is, relatively speaking, skilled in hand to hand combat and can hold his own with a sword. By no means, however, is he a gladiator as he only possesses enough skill (and desire) to defend himself and survive. Due to his paranoid nature he is extremely vigilant, and thus sneaking up on him is a feat in and of itself. He is capable of navigating by way of the stars, no map necessary, and can speak a variety of languages. Agility comes naturally to him and he has enough medical knowledge to stitch himself shut if he were ever sliced up.personalityKlas often comes off as rude or haughty, carrying an air of superiority about him that (to most) seems unfounded. He is known for having and keeping secrets, going to great lengths and spending large sums of coin to hide his past and true identity. Because of this he is extremely paranoid and doesn't trust easily. He is brash, often making decisions without fully thinking them through - however, he is intelligent and always has something to fall back on. Despite what can be presumed to be a rather wealthy upbringing, Klas is exceptionally business-savvy and is great as persuasion and negotiation.
weaknessesDespite his constant paranoia, Klas is only mortal, and as such only has one life and cannot regrow limbs if they were to be severed. He often comes off as arrogant or over-confident and by all accounts has no foundation for such. He goes to great lengths to hide his true identity and his past, and as such it is extremely hard to get close to him which that tends to leave him isolated. Outside of anyone he meets on the island, Klas has no connections that could (or would) aid him if something were to happen to him. He's a bit claustrophobic and it no fan of people invading his personal space, not is he a fan of being in a cage. Klas is also a bit of a smoker, and is known for becoming agitated when he hasn't smoked in a while. This is also the reason why his overall endurance (when it comes to running) is not great and will likely be cause of his death if he's not murdered first.

religionKlas is polytheistic and worships (though not exclusively) six primes.
He tends to pay more homage to the dark primes, as opposed to the light ones, and because
of this (among other reasons) he was disowned and cast from his homeland - subsequently
forfeiting his right to the Kasurian throne, and any real claim he had with his namesake.
Fortunately he was able to take quite a sum of coin, jewels, and other valuables with him
to keep him afloat and to offer to the Primes.

normal outfitA typical outfit for Klas consists of a suit of some form. Typically he prefers to wear white with undertones of a darker color such as black or a deep maroon. The suits themselves are usually made from linen or seersucker, the jacket lined with pongee. His shirts vary in material, ranging from silk to cotton, though are almost always high necked. He typically wears neck ties made from silk in one of four colors: black, white, deep maroon, or a burnt orange. His shoes are a fine, well oiled black leather and will lack any scuff marks. He will wear a belt of similar style, and the cuff-links and handkerchief will match the tie he is wearing.casual outfitA casual outfit for Klas is still somewhat high end, despite the fact that it is supposed to be casual. Usually it will consist of a pair of darker linen or tweed trousers held snug by a black leather belt. His shirt will either be high necked, round necked, or a v-neck and will usually be either black or white. Chances are likely that it will be made from finely woven cotton, as opposed to silk. A scarf may be draped over his shoulders, the color of which will be the opposite of his shirt, and due to the climate will not likely be wrapped up. His shoes, much like his belt, will likely be a well oiled black leather that lacks scuff marks.
build
swimmer, mesomorph, triangular. chest circumference is roughly 38 inches, shoulder to shoulder width is roughly 18 inches

his fur is fine, short, and a pale white-blonde in color due to him having leucism. his hair is a light blonde and kept neat and short as opposed to the long and often curly mane of other lions.
eyes
A bright and unsettling orange, one that doesn't really seem to fit due to with the whiteness of his fur. Many think that due to the starkness of his fur he is albino and expect his eyes to be pink.
