Due to the influence of his mother, Cæcus creates the immediate impression of an amicable aristocrat. When in the presence of others every step, gesture, or expression is calculated to effectively convey the dignity a man of his station ought to possess. He always seems serene, with nary a care in the world. Yet, beneath this air of resplendency is the self-doubt of a man terrified of becoming something he has no desire to be. Though he may appear calm, cool, and collected, there is always a nagging doubt in the back of Cæcus's mind of whether he is sufficiently maintaining the image of a gay, blithe man in control of his life and destiny.
Despite the fact that his entire public image is a lie, there are qualities within Cæcus's character that are genuine. He endeavors always to be honest with those he meets, save in situations where politeness is key rather than probity. He is hospitable to those he deems less fortunate than himself, especially in the case of women. As unhealthy as it is, he represses any and all negative emotions he has toward others and instead aspires to see the good in every man, no matter how vile or despicable Cæcus may inwardly consider them. Despite this, he is reluctant to establish lasting connections with others, as he fears that in doing so he may become involved in events he would otherwise not. Essentially, he is afraid of becoming his father.
Perhaps Cæcus's greatest flaw is his ambition; ambition which, in his mind, is for an ultimate good. On account of his father's corrupt nature, his ultimate goal is to bring up his family and establish for it a reputation of reliability and charity. For the moment, he intends to accomplish this by righteous means, without delving so low as to conduct business with persons he finds disreputable and ignoble.
BACKGROUND
Cæcus was born into a relatively minor Alderaan noble family that, on the surface, was insignificant when compared to other, greater Houses. While the family's acts of charity and goodwill bore little recognition, occasional whispers in the more opulent taverns and clubs of Aldera tell a far different story. Traitorous, Avaricious, Cruel. These adjectives have often been used to describe the House and its heirs in private circles, and Cæcus has yet to be exempt from such talk. Since his birth, he has been gossiped over by harridans and rumormongers alike comparing him to his ancestors and wondering whether he would fall victim to the vices and sins of past House heads. Had he only his father as a caregiver, such would have likely been the case.
Cæsonius Anaxitor Tallus was, above all, a cold, calculating man. A veteran of the so-called Hundred Years' Darkness, he did much to maintain the House's public venire of philanthropy and express his devotion to Queen and Kingdom, all the while suppressing the murmurs that revealed the man's seedier practices. He desired to bring Cæcus into the fold of his criminal enterprises and, it was hoped, educate the boy as to the peculiarities of weapons smuggling, drug dealing, and other illicit trades. A saving grace, however, came in the form of Cæcus's mother, Acantha Dulcia Tallus.
Wedded to Cæsonius on the grounds of strengthening political ties, Acantha held no true love for the man and chose to stay only so that she might protect her infant son from his evil machinations. A kind, gentle sort of woman, she was everything Cæsonius was not. Thanks to his mother's influence, Cæcus was kept out of much of his father's businesses and privately tutored in etiquette, science, mathematics, history, and the ways of a true gentleman. Probity, integrity, hospitality, and benevolence were all core virtues taught to him throughout his childhood and early teens. In addition, he was instilled with deep remorse for his family history, as his mother saw to it that as he grew into a young man he was told of House Tallus's unsavory past. Because of this remorse, Cæcus desired to improve his family's reputation, with his first attempt manifesting in a military career. He saw action only on a couple of occasions before being injured to such a degree as to warrant his being discharged at twenty-three. In the end, his career lasted only five years, and he only succeeded in gaining recognition from a few men of lesser rank. His father, of course, was not overjoyed.
With that attempt having born little fruit, Cæcus spent the next half-decade learning and experiencing the ways of a tradesman, albeit from more moral sources than his father. Like his military career, he was met with minor successes and established contact with trading companies throughout Alderaan, but his operations had yet to expand beyond.

When on his homeworld of Alderaan, Cæcus typically carries little with him save a dagger and a small pouch containing a finite amount of credits. When off-world, he carries a simple one-handed blaster with matching holster, all usually hidden beneath a cloak of some description. He has no body-armor of any kind upon his person, preferring instead to go without such protection (mostly because he deems it an unnecessary expense).
