Alsham Hirudo-faj niv Talvos

Alsham Talvos is the first child of Hirudo and Navani Talvos.

History
Alsham was born in 57 AB in the city of Nahrayn. As the son of the Emir, he was primarily raised by his mother Navani. During the time of the Sapphire Commonwealth especially, his father was often occupied by politics and other concerns raised by running a country. However, once the Commonwealth was disbanded, Hirudo took it upon himself to personally tutor his son. Growing up, Alsham received tutelage not only from his father in subjects such as statecraft, the arts, and literature, but also from the best teachers money could provide.

Traits and Abilities
Alsham has often been described by his teachers as a "bright young man." He excels in most subjects and is a talented artist like his father (although Alsham is more proficient due to his formal studies). He is generally optimistic and cheerful. Despite this, as an only child, he sometimes has trouble making friends and is not very socially skilled. He also has something of a lazy streak, to the chagrin of his parents.

He idolizes his father somewhat, being very proud of his status as the Emir. This is only tempered by Alsham's contempt for politics, which draws his father away from his family; he is closer to his mother as a result.

Although Alsham is full of potential, he lacks much concrete experience and is slightly sheltered.

Appearance
Alsham closely resembles his father, with blonde hair and a sturdy build. He inherited his mother's tall stature and dark indigo eyes. His hair is grown out longer than is customary for Najer.
