Haesphoros Daed'alion

Though graced with lush coppery hair and a delicate frame, this elf has far too strong a jaw and too heavy a brow to really pull off androgyny. For the most part, he doesn’t try to live up to the promise of his porcelain skin, too-full lips, and long golden lashes. If he’s causing any mild commotions, it’s because he’s juggling a telescope under one arm and a bottle of wine under the other and just fell down the stairs - not because he’s turning heads and breaking hearts. One could be forgiven for thinking him scatter-brained, but shrewdness lurks in his eyes and he focuses wholly on a person when they’re speaking to him, usually keeping his thoughts behind those bee-stung lips. (Speaking of bees, if there’s one around, he will squeal and run.)

There’s usually cat hair on his clothes and a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles hooked over his lapel button-hole or chest pocket. If one gets very close, a subtle cologne of woody and sharp floral notes can be picked up. He might also smell like wine if it’s later in the week or on the weekend.

At a Glance:
Smells like... A light, refined cologne of woody and sharp floral notes. Also smells like wine on the weekend.
Wino? I prefer sommelier. A connoisseur of wine who has his own little storage cellar and everything. Is it the weekend? He probably smells like wine. He doesn't seem particularly drunk, however.
Bees? BEES! You ever want to see a grown man squeal like a child and try to make himself small enough to fit in a shoebox? Bees.
Glasses-wearing nerd. He often has a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles hooked on his lapel button-hole or chest pocket - if they're not perched on his nose.
Ritual magician. "Stars. Can't do it. Not today." Unlike most mages, he cannot seem to access 'wild' magic and can only cast magic with precise timing and specific reagents.

Public records list a Haesphoros Daed'alion (né Highbrook) as an astromancer on record with the Scryers of Outland. Son of Cryomancer Sanil Highbrook (missing) and Magistrix Erivian Daed'alion (missing), he's entirely unremarkable among elven society. He's published two conspiracy-laden scholarly papers about the dangers of poking holes in the Twisting Nether.

Among current and former Scryers, he's known for a focus on planetary movements and extra-planar alignments - and as a mediocre caster at best. He's also known to have a bit of a fancy for the draenei.

Vinters and wine shop owners are quite familiar with him.

He lives in a modest townhouse in the Walk of Elders district with his three cats: Alecto, Erinn, and Arete.
