Wells Teva

Wells Teva, the Second Son of Ealdorman Dolan Teva and Doyenne Emmeline Lovat, was the heir of Aerona during the events of the Grand Insurrection and final days of the Tellus Connexus Project. As a prominent figure of House Teva royalty, he played an integral role in the downfall of Pyramiden and the liberation of the Sixteen States.

Early Life
Wells Teva was born in the capital city of Zenith to Ealdorman Dolan Teva and Doyenne Emmeline Lovat. He was the younger brother of Landon Teva by two years. As the Second Son of the Ealdorman, Wells was expected to inherit the Seneschal throne of House Teva's home state of Aerona. Thus, at a young age, he began the formal process of nobility training, being introduced to the political and judicial process of the Sixteen States. At the age of five Wells was assigned a personal Varlet by his father - a boy of equal age named Silas Krea. Silas grew up alongside Wells, being trained in the Varlet code and becoming a close friend and confidant of Wells.

While Wells was born in Zenith, he did live there long; while he was still young, he moved with his mother and Silas to her home state of Augurwood. There, Wells spent the remainder of his childhood, becoming acquainted to life in the secluded, forested region and forming a close bond with his mother. From the fortress of Castle Nemus where they resided, they would take frequent trips to visit family in the Aerona city of Edwenden and the Augurwood city of Larkspur. As Wells grew older, he began to spend the summers in Zenith, to better understand the role of the Higher Royalty and to reconnect with his brother and father. After the apparent death of Emmeline Lovat, Wells transitioned to living in Zenith permanently, a move that he greatly loathed.

Meeting with Eliza Esme
When Wells was eighteen, two years after the apparent death of his mother, Ealdorman Dolan Teva arranged a betrothal between Wells and the daughter of the Seneschal of Wituma, a young girl of equal age named Eliza Esme. Wells was initially frustrated by this decision, believing that this arrangement was a political move and not in Wells' best interest. Silas convinced him to proceed, and, begrudgingly, agreed to meet Eliza in the Wituma town of Noa, an idyllic community nestled in craggy mountains.

Personality and Looks
Wells was characterized as having prominent features recognizable of the House Teva bloodline. He stood tall and slim, with a strong brow and dark, brooding eyes. His hair, often tousled and unkempt, was a warm shade of brown. He had angular features and a narrow jaw; he was widely considered an attractive young man who's features blended the rigid looks of House Teva men and the subtle charm attributed to Emmeline Lovat.

Contrary to his outward austerity, Wells was a reserved and quiet character who preferred the seclusion of Castle Nemus over the bustling streets of Zenith. He cared deeply for those around him, forming a close bond with Silas Krea, and the passing of his mother moved him greatly. He was often conscious of ethics and felt a moral obligation to do the correct thing, which is why, despite despising the noble lifestyle, he established himself as the heir of Aerona.
