General Appearance:
The man before you is tall, and broad shouldered. His dark hair is roughly cut allowing some of it to seem somewhat wild. His stride seems measured, as if he were following some sort of rhythm. Eyes glint out from beneath his somewhat savage hair, they are darkly colored, perhaps hazel or perhaps even sea blue. His skin is darker than the average Breiton, a slight olive complexion. He gazes about with a touch of confusion on his face, as if the sounds and sights are very new to him and not at all his normal environment His teeth are exceptionally white, and evenly spaced. A slight beard and mustache adorn his face. His entire visage seems generally savage.

 Merces usually wears closely fitted shirts and breeches, many of his garments are cut more for function and somewhat less for look. His right arm is always covered in a leather sleeve. The color of the sleeve usually matches the color of what shirt he is wearing. He also favors leather jackets over the shirts, or a vest. He always wear some sort of boot. He is never without a drik on his waist, he often carries a strangely tipped sword as well. A cape or cloak usually completes the look, depending on the climate it is either simple cotton, or perhaps wool for colder moments.

Personality

Merces is a bit of an unknown, newly thrust into a world he is largely ignorant. He has some resentment to this situation, but is learning to deal with his new placement in life. He rarely smiles, but maintains an aire of civility no matter the situation. He seems slightly awkward around women, though it is easy to see his attraction to them. Most of his conversation seems rather halting, as if he is afraid to say to much. If engaged in a area he is confident of his knowledge of his voice has a gravelly sort of bass in it.

Sexual Preference: Heterosexual

House: Wyndham (Heir Apparent)

Background: Merces is now the heir apparent to House Wyndam and resembles his father the duke, but has no resemblance to the Duchess at all. He has spent the majority of his time left to his own devices, spending as much time as possible with his mother and the other side of his family in Otho. He was raised to manage an estate but never expected to do so. His sudden summons to the King's court and the circumstance that have deposited him at Cape Fortuna with a half sister who knew nothing about him and orders from his rather distant father to do his family name proud, a name that until his summons was denied him. He fully intended to spend his life with his mother in Otha as there he was
never looked down upon due to his half Breiton heritage.

 He is versed in many subjects, one of his private loves is language and he
knows more than dozen fluently, and more than that well enough to get along.
Mathematics, science, medicine, Otha possesses many sources of knowledge being a strong trading tradition. He has adopted many of the practices of his mother's people and will bring them to Breiton.

 He is ignorant of many of the problems facing Cape Fortuna, but will quickly begin formulating a plan to pull the Wyndham name out of the mire there, while not a devoutly religious man, he feels that both the Crown and Church should be working together and not against each other. However his lack of devotion will not prevent him from doing what is needed if either side proves less than tractable.
