Born into nobility, a childhood curse from a vengeful witch left him with a lethal touch, forcing exile to a secluded estate attended only by a steadfast maid and paternal butler. Once cheerful, years of isolation bred social withdrawal, self-loathing, and chronic insomnia, marked by shadowed eyes. Supported by loyal companions, he slowly embraced hope and agency, confronting emotional scars.

His formal attire—tailored suits, gloves, and a top hat masking short, dark curls—contrasts with the bird-like mask and steel cage of his plague doctor garb, worn outdoors to shield others. Pale and gaunt, he channels anguish into art and music, mastering piano, guitar, violin, composition, painting, and drawing—talents later sustaining him beyond the estate.

The sharp-witted maid, his childhood friend, tempers flirtatious teasing with fierce loyalty, their bond deepening into love despite his terror of harming her. The butler offers gruff counsel, selectively sharing truths to protect him. Siblings harbor tensions: a resentful younger brother strained by heirship duties, and a sister whose romantic entanglements he observes warily.

Seeking to break the witch’s curse, he allies with a flame-wielding witch and a time-weaving wizard. A withered white rose—a pledge of devotion—ignites his resolve to dismantle emotional barriers. Freed from the curse, he forsakes inheritance to wed his beloved, embracing life as an artist and musician. Their shared home, inclusive of the retired butler, resonates with creativity and hard-won peace.

The narrative traces his journey from desolation to trust, resilience reforging fractured familial ties, and redemption through art and love. Post-curse, he crafts a legacy unshackled from bloodline or title, finding solace in partnership and the catharsis of creation.
