Nero Vashar

Nero Vashar is the current Prince-Admiral of Myr and the Patriarch of the Vashar Family. Born the secondborn son of Idris Vashar and his wife, Nyla Adarys, despite the freedoms Essos provided, he was not granted with the boon of being named heir.

Yet nevertheless, where his older brother faltered, Nero succeeded. From marriage to having to take on Ezra Vashar's responsibilities even before his overthrow and exile, Nero has long been forced to shoulder the heavy burden that Ezra could not.

Appearance and Character
As a younger man, Nero was the very image of strength. Built like a bull and strong as an ox, few could doubt his prowess upon anything other than the field of battle. Yet, as time progressed, and things changed, as all things do, he gradually found himself inundated by his elder brother's responsibilties.

Ezra had been ever the frivolous type, and with the responsibilities of ensuring his family's future thrust upon him, a previously unforeseen side to Nero was brought to the forefront. Governance suited him well.

Nero's natural aptitude for governance would continue to grow as he increasingly worked alongside his youngest sister, Rania Vashar, as they endlessly tolled to keep Ezra from failing and falling by the wayside. It was a task that took a great toll on Nero and drained a great portion of his energy from the more vigorous passions of life. For Nero, notably such was his love for combat.

Nevertheless, while Nero's talents for governance and statesmanship were newly found in the grand scheme of things, his had always been a charismatic personality. Never had one been to say that Nero Vashar had been a shut-in, nor one to avoid active converse.

But fate is cruel. While responsibility had restricted Nero's time, Ezra's failings would restrict him for the remainder of his life. At four and forty, just a year before Ezra's ousting and exile in 425 A.C., in what can now via hindsight only ben described as a "failed assassination attempt", Nero Vashar's horse was felled, with him atop it, sundering his right leg in the process, and thereby removing his last hopes for the active lifestyle he had once possessed.

In light of his fate, Nero's character grew into a type more suited toward the more unforgiving and ruthless side of politics. It was now, with a crippled leg, that Nero Vashar truly began to shine as some might say, and to darken as others might contest.

Ruthlessness suited this Vashar, and would see him well through the tumultuous times ahead. From Jasmine Vashar to a great many political opponents whom rose and fell as Nero dragged his House back up the political ladder of Myr, those still with tongues to voice words can attest to how Nero Vashar did whatever was necessary to see himself into the position of Prince-Admiral and his family back to the place of foremost prominence.
