Background.
Born the crown prince of a nation in political turmoil, Benedict nonetheless lived the majority of his sheltered life in luxury. He managed to make it to the age of 23 before his secret was discovered: the ability to conjure fire with his hands, a trait of the Profane and a crime against the gods of the land.
He spent the last year of his life imprisoned and stripped of his titles; eventually he succumbed to a wasting sickness in the dark, forgotten and cursed by his family.
But it's ok, he's alive again. Just... somewhere else.
Personality.
You can take the prince out of the palace, etc etc. Despite his hardships, Benedict remains aristocracy through and through. He's entitled and arrogant, extremely particular about his appearance and the operations of his life, and often struggles to care about or relate to people he would generally consider 'beneath' him.
On the flipside, when given a reason to put his loyalty behind someone, he will do so with surprising enthusiasm. He's also quite aesthetically inclined, unexpectedly generous to those he finds deserving, and easily swayed by emotion.
The past has left him scarred in a way he has, for obvious reasons, not entirely processed, and this is now everyone's problem.
Other Details.
Loves art, both observing & creating.
Can conjure fire with his hands, simultaneously has Baggage around magic.
Massive hedonist and is all about creature comforts and pleasure-seeking, often to his detriment.
Not much of a fighter (and is in fact a pretty big coward), but can & will burninate his foes in a pinch.
