Sebastian, Lord Virgo

The Honourable Sebastian Henry Alexander Maximilian, sixteen, born January 20th, 1869 AE, is the future Earl of Tyne, after his father, the Right Honourable George, Viscount Tyne. His mother, the Right Honourable Alessandra Maria, Viscountess Tyne, is a Princess of Milan. He is their only child. Sebastian is 5' 6" tall, with grey-blue eyes, black hair and a pale complexion. An Earth magician, Sebastian's intelligence and power allows him to become the youngest ever governing member of the Zodiac Society as Lord Virgo, Sixth Among Twelve.

Sebastian was born in Albion, the home of the Pendragon Empire, in his family's estate in the north-eastern part of the country. His family are wealthy, owning many properties in the Empire and its colonies. As a child, Sebastian accompanied his father to visit some of these estates, particularly those holdings in the Orient. These journeys expose him to the Eastern tradition of elemental magic and earns him friends in the area and the forbidding Qing Empire. It is also where he first meets and becomes rivals with James Tolliver, Lord Aries, and learns about the Legend of the Lost Cities.

As a governing member of the Zodiac Society and practitioner of earth elemental magic, Sebastian wears blue and, for formal events, an ivory half-mask of an androgynous face. He also wears a tie pin or cufflinks in the symbol of Virgo or his birthstone. He has a familiar, Persephone, that is a golem and that has the ability to change her shape as required. At only sixteen, Sebastian is already working on his first publication on elemental magic which is what places him at the university Vincent Opal attends and allows him to later meet Leona Ruby. Alongside Lady Taurus and Lord Capricorn, Sebastian is responsible for managing the practice of earth elemental magic in the Empire.

Sebastian is arrogant, intelligent and also kind, though he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth. Aware that his age and appearance allows others to dismiss him, Sebastian tries to make an impact wherever he goes. His friendship with Vincent has tempered his behaviour some, as he idolises the older boy's natural calm.
