His attire includes dark-khaki dress pants and a black belt, the latter having it's metal portions in gold. Black dress socks and shoes finish the bottom, and he also possess an olive tie.

<p class="MsoNormal">3)Characteristics

<p class="MsoNormal">-Background: Ahenobarbus's bloodline traces itself back to a wealthy family, dating back to before the Great War. It is believed that this was an influential group, having some connection to the party that ruled the Kingdom prior to the conflict. In the chaos of the War, however, this clan lost most of its wealth, and nearly all of its power. From there on out, they had to climb their way back up, and they still have a long way to go. With how politics is run in the present day, it has become difficult for them to reclaim their lost throne. Eadberht is the latest descendant of that line. He was privately tutored in combat in his youth, his parents believing that such knowledge is vital in society today. He often went on boating trips during that time, learning how to sail. It was during one of these times hat he had an idea. He would go on to found his own business, a shipping company to be exact. For the past few months, however, many of his cargoships fell under seige of the White Fang (as well as a certain hoolagin). This put a great deal of stress on him, and it worsened after the destruction of Vale's CCTS tower. While he continues to do business locally, his importing wing has been hit pretty hard. He's had to resort to personal radio networks to maintain communication between his workers and partners, and it doesn't always work well with great distances.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Personality: Eadberht is often seen as cold and calculating by people, due to his disconnection from the common folk. He is rather mistrustful, to the point some folk consider him to be a bit paranoid. Part of this stems from his family's history of misfortune, most of which he doesn't intend on repeating. His main goal in life is to reclaim his bloodline's lost seat in society. It was because of this desire that he took an interest in politics, believing that such knowledge would assert a place at the table. Because he hardly ever found found himself in a "real" fight, he doesn't really emphasise with those in more combative roles (such as Hunters and military). If anything, he consdiers them expendable to society. He has a distaste for the poor, believing them to be parasites. This also extends to the Faunus race. However, if any of them decide to work for his company and put (what he believes is) decent effort, he may give them some slack. He's not stupid enough to overwork his employees (part of the reason being fear of retalation from the White Fang, the rest being common sense. Can't provide for your consumers if the workforce'ss back is broken.). He has a firm desire- if not obbession- to bring about order. Anyone caught breaking business regulations -for good or ill reason- he will punish them severly. Lately, however, he has been having random outburts of anger. Some workers noted how he would speak illy of the Mistralic Council, believing them to be slacking off in a time of crisis.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Likes: Order, control, peace, sailing (though he lessened these trips after an aquatic Grimm sank his personal boat), wealth, power

<p class="MsoNormal">-Dislikes: Chaos, war, strife, Faunus, the poor, poverty (his blood already fell to it once, and he doesn't intend on making it happen again)

<p class="MsoNormal">4) Trivia:

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notable relationships:

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notes: This was the template that spawned Ekaitz Lamont. I've been meaning to create  a more poliically-based character, and intended on giving him an antagonistic role within my storyline at some point.
 * Ekaitz Lamont: They don't talk much these days. Eadberht met Ekaitz while the latter was conducting research in Mistral. Sharing similar interests, the two of them practically became fast friends. In the past few months, however, their friendship became strained.
 * Schnee Dust Company: The SDC is one of his company's pusiness partners, as well as one of their regular customers. While Eadberht has respect for them as a business, he is also rather envious of their success.

<p class="MsoNormal">A) Day to Day Life

<p class="MsoNormal">-Expanded Occupation/Business Details: (What the business does, how successful it is, who it sells to) He owns a shipping business called... um, anyone have suggestions for a name? :/ While they primarily ship their goods through the sea, they do dabble in aerial and ground-based delivery as well. The ships have their own means of defense, such as turrents and secuirty personal. They're a rather big company, with some influence in how goods are transported within Mistral. with the Schnee Dust Company being one of their biggest partners.
