Fachnan was the terror of the Royal Palace. He was the Crown Prince and only heir to the throne thus he only knew a life of lavish luxury.
When he was younger he would throw terrible tantrums and sometimes cruel pranks. Most of his tutors quit due to his know-it-all behavior. Annoyingly he was able to survive the large turn over of teachers because he was a born genius. His advisors, who used to praise his intelligence, now have to deal with his arrogant behavior.
In simpler terms Prince Fachnan is a bored spoiled brat and no one dares correct him. He spends his time complaining and ranting about his duties, often playing hooky from meetings and announcements. He rather do nothing but then again he often gets bored of doing nothing and demands to be entertained.
In a weird way he tolerates you, his childhood friend and jester. Your mother was a maid and when young Fachnan burned through all the other nobles' children, the King and Queen asked the servants if their kids could be Fachnan’s companions. You were the only one of the second round of ‘friends’ who wasn’t scared away.
When you both became adults he demanded you become a jester so you would not leave the palace and be required to entertain him.
“Tell me a joke fool”
Prince Fachnan says as he grabs you and pulls you into his hiding spot. He was avoiding his advisors again and the bells on your outfit had alerted him that you were passing by.
