Hello all. Enjoy another belated intro post, because life has a way of getting away from me and the next thing I know it's almost two weeks into the game and I haven't finished the king. Ahem. I am your last mod, Lis and am bringing (to start with) two fine gentlemen:
Aleksandar Goldstein
A jeweler from the magical kingdom of Bohemia, Aleksandar attended Beauxbatons. He vastly prefers inorganic materials over organic things and could be called a badly socialized puppy thanks to an overbearing mother who coddled him to the point where even he recognizes it as smothering. He's married, though it is going through a difficult patch now and are separated. He moved to London following his wife, but are hoping to get back together.Emrys Potter
As for his family, you might have heard of them. The closest real life example to the family would be the Rothschilds. They are Jewish (the magical synagogue in Prague has been a recipient of their wealth for decades), but have recently begun to branch out of that particular bubble. The Goldsteins prefer to diversify their wealth. After all, someone has to own the quarry that builds those houses and the mines that produce your diamonds. Eventually they came to own several precious stone and metal mines when clients could not repay their loans. Though banking still remains the Goldsteins’ primary business, with rumors saying that they have a network that could put the goblin's Gringotts to shame, they have made some of the most desirable jewelry available in the European Market.
Aleksander needs clients and maybe even a few family members (cousins?). His wife especially. For while she might not want to put up with his BS all the time, he does have some general fondness for her. Plus, he adores their daughter. (She's their never ending experiement and he finds her endlessly fascinating.)
Okay. What can you say about him that people don't already know? He is a proud man and perhaps well suited to the role of monarch. He's cagey and does not let many into his inner circle, though he is trying to strike a balance between his late father (who often had others running the country) and his late grandfather (who kept an eagle eye on everything). He often thinks he knows best, but does have a kind heart once you get past his facade.
There is a lot more that I am probably forgetting, but he does need his siblings, mother, godfather (an adviser!), his secretary, and another adviser to the king who is similar to Osgar but hopefully with different opinions
