Personality

Pretty but poisonous is an apt description of Oleander. He's less interested in destruction and violence as he is corrupting things to suit his own aesthetic. Beautiful gardens formed from twisted, malformed souls and beds of flowers capable of consuming prey whole. Oleander enjoys the beauty of his powers and wants to use them to paint the world in his image. While Gehassigkeit wants to tear apart The Refugium and its "Ivory Prince", Oleander wants to get his claws on all its precious, endangered inhabitants and twist them with balefire until they're his. He enjoys collecting rare and beautiful things, especially living creatures.

Oleander is quiet and contemplative, not shy, but reclusive by circumstance. He's morally ambiguous with no desire for violence or killing, but is driven by an innate desire to spread his bloodline's legacy in trails of beautiful balefire blooms. He's trustworthy in that he doesn't try to hide his goals. Anyone he meets, he wishes to corrupt and collect, and he doesn't attempt subterfuge. He's usually capable of overpowering his opponents but if he can sweet talk them into serving him, he'd prefer to do so.
