Arden Cameron was not born into reverence, nor raised in comfort. His early years were shaped by discipline, expectation, and consequence lessons learned through observation rather than affection. From a young age, he understood hierarchy, responsibility, and the cost of indecision. Whatever softness he carries now was not inherited freely; it was earned through restraint, survival, and deliberate self-control.

In the modern kingdom-city he inhabits a place where tradition and progress exist in uneasy harmony Arden stands as a high ranking general and autonomous power-holder. His authority is neither ceremonial nor inherited. It is maintained through strategic competence, personal wealth, and a reputation for precision rather than excess. He governs without spectacle and commands without raising his voice. Those beneath him respect him; those opposed to him name him Armageddon in quiet acknowledgment of what follows resistance.

Arden Cameron is deliberate in all aspects of his life, including intimacy. He maintains a closed and carefully balanced personal circle: three maidens and his male companions, each fulfilling their own defined roles. This arrangement is not provisional, nor open to negotiation. Arden is content with those bound to him and has no intention of expanding that circle. He does not seek novelty, nor does he tolerate unnecessary complication. His life already carries enough weight, obligation, and motion and what he has chosen for himself is sufficient.
