Background

The youngest of the Quellton children, Balius grew up with an intense drive to prove himself and keep the family together. His experience in Arboren and the family's stables at Arion Oaks gave him a love of nature and the outdoors. Always more comfortable with a barefoot stroll than any formal occasion, he finds himself preferring quiet dinners with his family and nights by the fire telling stories.

While being subjected to playing "squire" to Chiron's "knight" throughout his childhood, Bey, as his Dad calls him, never gained a love for swordplay or the knighthood. He doesn't understand his brother's decisions to move out, though he respects the choice. Though get the brothers together in any tavern in Arboren and it won't be long before the two break out in some tune or another. Balius does enjoy hearing new drinking songs that his brother picks up.

Unbeknownst to his siblings, his father gathered a quite sizable gambling debt years ago. The loan sharks show up, posing as "friends" for an annual visit. Thankful for Lorelei's naivete towards them, he works tirelessly to ensure that his father's terrible way with money won't get the family in even further trouble. He's always got his eye on the family finances, following Da's bookkeeping and management of the stable. While he turns the eye when the "friends" come to visit, he is all too aware of why the obvious upkeep needed around the stables and house are delayed time and time again.

He can often be found studying his numerous interests, trying to put his knowledge and theory into practice wherever possible. He was a child who never stopped playing doctor, and he often can be found trying to expand his knowledge of wounds, illnesses and the like. He secretly dreams of studying medicine, but he shelves this as perceived folly. On top of this, he has devoted a huge amount of his time learning how to bring the stables to greater profitability, so that the family can both pay off Da's debts and create a better life for all of them.

Indeed, he is most content when the whole family gathers together for a dinner or a celebration. Even with the inevitable arguments, there's a sense of calm and security he gets only when the five of them are together in the same place. Arion Oaks Stable is their true home, the place that only works when all who belong there are present.

Characteristics

Description

Six feet tall, with short blond hair (to avoid any inspiration by Loree to braid it). His green eyes are framed with long lashes. He is generally laid-back in his muscular form, reflecting his years working with the family on the stables. He has full-bodied lips and a smile that's generally reserved only for laughs with his family.

Quirks

  • Dislikes Shoes: Bey will often take off his shoes without even noticing. As he's aged, he's brought this childhood desire under control. But the moment he is on his property or in the woods, the shoes come off. They often get lost as he kicks them off whenever he can. Feeling the sense of freedom that borders on compulsion.
  • Picky Eater: It's all about texture over taste for Balius, and he finds it nigh impossible to swallow something that he finds gross.
  • Pragmatist: All about the decision-making in the here and now, Bey might hide some of his more pragmatic choices for those who might disagree, but he will find a way to achieve the best outcome for the family. Most recently, this can be displayed in his decision to bring additional income for the Quelltons by selling the meat of injured or aging horses at Gregor's Strange Meats, unbeknownst to his family.
  • Atheist:Though he's not going to mention it to anyone, his doubts about the Six and the Chantry have evolved into something far more rigid than a simple crisis of faith. He's fine with blending in with the appropriate lingo, but he definitely wouldn't be caught with a sincere prayer on his lips.

Musical Inspiration

Flesh and Bone - The Killers

He faces forward,
Trading in his blindness for the glow of love,
And time is raging, may it rage in vain,
And you always had it, but you never knew,
So boots and saddles, get on your feet,
There's no surrender, 'cause there's no retreat,
The bells are sobbing, in this monster land,
We are the descendants of giant men.

Power and Glory - Phil Ochs

Come and take a walk with me thru this green and growing land
Walk thru the meadows and the mountains and the sand
Walk thru the valleys and the rivers and the plains
Walk thru the sun and walk thru the rain

Here is a land full of power and glory
Beauty that words cannot recall
Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom
Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)

On the Grid

Known Associates

Chiron Young Master Chiron Quellton : You're too busy now, Chi. There's no foundation to stand on, and I'm starting to think it's too late to build what might have never been there. I wish ya the best, bro.
Lorelei Lorelei Quellton : So Loree's found love, and now she's ready to run. Well, more power to her. Though, she's the last piece of real family I thought I had left. Perhaps we're mending some bridges now for the future.
