   Cealleah Exposè
I'm too tired for just that plain mad face. I hate getting up early. I'm not a morning person. Stupid classes. I can sleep in on Thursdays though. I don't get the car today though and that'll be really annoying. My mom sometimes forgets to pick me up.

Alright, so let's get started with the exposè. First off, his name is Cealleah, pronounced 'see-all-ee-ah'. I had so much trouble trying to pronounce his name at first. And I'm going to set up his exposè a little differently since his character can be seen the clearest when he interacts with others. Before that I'll give a little bit of info on the family. Cealleah is the current head of the du Drake (of the dragon) family. He's in charge of Zephyr's fields and orchards, so the family is very important. The family also known for having bad blood with each other and they're very challenging of the von Bavol.
Cealleah was the fourth of four and second of two sons. The easiest way to describe Cealleah is misplaced ambition. He married young, at eighteen, and had two sons by the time he was twenty. Overal he's got four sons, one daughter, nine granddaughters, and eleven grandsons. As far as I know he's only got one or two great granddaughters currently. Now, getting aside he's a father, grandfather, and head of a powerful noble family, he's evil.
Cealleah and his father: Cealleah had a fairly easy relationship with his father, Hirsi. He looked up to him like a son should. He felt that he'd be favored as his successor, but that's not how precession works. He asked to be the successor since his older wasn't married. He was denied. He poisoned Hirsi and got away with it. Cealleah was only twenty.
Cealleah with his brother: Cealleah always had a resentment for his older brother, Amrit, but often played the part of the younger brother in public. After Hirsi "mysteriously" died, he started a whole out conflict with Amrit over the seat of the house. He had a lot of support since he was already married with two sons, but the family was willed to Amrit so Amrit took over. Their relationship became even more strained after that. Amrit eventually did marry and had a daughter. Terrified that the next child could be a son, ensuring Amrit's rule, Cealleah started spreading rumors that Amrit was severly depressed and then called him out to talk. Amirt accepted, more than happy to put their past behind him, and went to meet Cealleah. Cealleah killed him. It was ruled as an accident but Cealleah's rumors of depression led many of the du Drake to believe suicide. Very few thought murder. Cealleah at last had control of the family.
Cealleah and his sisters: Cealleah had two sisters, Ceri and Catori. He also had a sister-in-law, Papina. Catori was between Amrit and Cealleah, so she saw a lot of the tension had believed he killed their brother. Ceri was the very oldest and thought it was impossible for him to actually kill anyone. Papina believe it so much that she spent most of her free time trying to find evidence. She did, seventeen years after her husband died. She also started to suspect he killed Hirsi. Before she could say anything Cealleah poisoned her. Catori and Ceri fought over this and where Amrit's daughter would go, but the lords ruled in favor of Ceri and Cealleah and he was given custody.
Cealleah and his niece: Cealleah's niece, Ratri, is the same age as his only daughter, Zana. He didn't realise until after he gained custody how suspious it would be if she died. Afraid she might know something, he was with her constantly and forbade her to speak to nobility. When she married Teseo von Bavol (yeah, she's Anastasius's mom) he believed that she did it just to spite the family. This caused most of the du Drake to hate her.
Cealleah and the del Ignis: Cealleah loved to push his power around. No one was allowed to use his first name, with the exception of his wife. He even corrected his sisters when they used his name saying it was now Lord du Drake. He'd let it slide if another noble called him Lord Cealleah, but not often and only during the rule of Muunokhoi del Ignis. The du Drake and the del Ignis never got along, but Cealleah and Muunokhoi were bitter. They were only five years apart with Muunokhoi being the younger and Cealleah was terrified of him. He was the only nobility to disrespect him. During the time they ruled together, Cealleah was very quiet in his business. Once Muunokhoi died he picked up the pace and was back to slandering names and being a general annoyance. Muunokhoi wasn't murdered by Cealleah. Cealleah was too afraid of him. Years later Cealleah would attempt a coup that would ultimately be stopped because of the del Ignis family.
Cealleah as a father: Cealleah is a very strict father. His children had to call him Lord Father to keep him on his power trip. He was hardest on his sons and taught them to detest the von Bavol family. He was often seen with his daughter, Zana, as he was always trying to get Teseo and her together. He wanted her to be his link to the throne. It backfired and he pretty much started focusing on his sons after that.
Cealleah as a grandfather: It's the same story with his grandchildren. They had to call him Lord Grandfather. He was slightly easier on them but taught them to hate the von Bavol family. He used his oldest grandson, Rajan, to attempt the coup so that if they were caught Rajan would be hung instead of him. When the coup backfired, Cealleah was put under house arrest for six months and Rajan got off. He did come to his senses so now he and Cealleah are at odds.
Cealleah and the von Bavol: In his early days he sucked up to the von Bavol family. He allowed Iago von Bavol to call him Lord Cealleah, but this started to change. When Teseo was showing no interest in his daughter, he took to slandering Shadi's name. After Teseo and Ratri started courting, Cealleah gave Iago such a hard time that the very minute his first grandchild was born, he retired the throne to Teseo. Teseo and Cealleah were almost always at odds. Teseo was without a doubt the better man because he was always respectful to his uncle-in-law and always called him Lord du Drake. When Teseo died, Cealleah wasted no time in bothering the devestated family in attempts to get them to snap. He wore out Ratri after a year, and wore out emre after three. He looked likely to be the new over-ruler until Duscha stepped in as the first female over-ruler with full support from the del Ignis.
Cealleah and Shadi: Shadi and Cealleah's relation ship didn't start until Shadi was twelve and Cealleah was thirty three. Before then, Shadi was a common citizen and not worth Cealleah's attention. Iago took the throne but Cealleah spent most of his attention on Teseo, only slightly aware of Shadi's pressence. When Shadi was fourteen, Teseo showed no interest in Zana at a dinner and Cealleah started dragging Shadi's name through the mud as punishment. Shadi saved Teseo's life when he was sixteen, Cealleah's take on this was that they should leave him to the bandits. When he was eighteen, Shadi learned about the accusations around Cealleah and sympathized with him. Those sympathies lasted less then an hour. Cealleah spent quite a bit of his time talking against Shadi, so that when Shadi was put in charge of trades, no one was for it. Shadi wasn't so quiet about his view of Cealleah being power crazy. Just because they're pretty, Shadi used to take walks with Chik in the orchards. This infuriated Cealleah and he started spreading rumors that Shadi was seeing this woman because he had a hatred for Zephyr. Shadi and Cealleah were in a privet war. Cealleah slandered his name as much as humanly possible and Shadi would walk around the du Drake mansion grounds, or in the fields and orchards, barefoot. That was enough to make Cealleah angry. When Shadi came back from his five year absent with a very pregnant wife, Cealleah found him talking about his fears of fatherhood to Teseo. Cealleah challenged him on it, making Shadi lose his temper and pull his sword. Cealleah, embarrassed, spent the next six years of Shadi's life getting much of Zephyr to hate the wanderer. When Shadi died, Cealleah had a big family dinner. He also told Ai that Shadi never cared about him and that he secretly resented him for being born a little freak and taking away all his freedom. In truth, Cealleah hates Shadi so much because he could never control him. Teseo had to always be polite to him, but Shadi didn't. He was supposed to, but never was. Shadi always called him Cealleah.

Yeah, so, Cealleah is the most evil person in Zephyr history. He's our most evil human in Epic. When Epic starts, he's seventy three but still just as nasty and mean as ever. He's still unlinked to all three murders. Cealleah has light yellow eyes and dark blue hair. In the show, if we see him, you won't know any of this stuff. It's funny, in a few years when the show starts I'll have to delete either my archieves or this account. Well, everything on this site is copywrite The Unsaid Works. Have a good day. I'm putting up the Zephyr flag tomorrow.
