Cephius er'Ceasian

Prince
NPC

The son of Emperor Hadrianus and consort Quirina er'Taran fae'Ceasian, Prince Cephius was a sickly infant that passed away only a few months after his birth.  In his declining years, the Emperor was unable to produce another heir, leaving the throne open to one of his two nephews: Barnabus or Tobias.

Prince Cephius has long thought to have died as a young infant when his mother was staying at hunting lodge belonging to House Taran near Baron's City.

He was recently discovered to be alive, and the culprit behind a series of Blood Magic rituals. They were his attempt to remove the mystical influence of Hezra, the witch that raised him in secret. The voices he claimed to hear in his head were not Hera, but the Singers. Hezra physically molded Cephius's body and face to look like his cousin Prince Tobias. 

Prince Cephius was left in the care of Imperial Captain Nikoros Gaura.
