Cesare is the illegitimate son of King Leo III and his favorite mistress Countess Rubina De Como. Though officially, he is recognized as the Prince’s cousin, there are still rumors that he is a bastard son. Growing up, Cesare got whatever he wanted, from the best clothes and horses to the favor of every lady in the land. Cesare is very jealous of his brother Alfonso, who, despite being younger, was born legitimately and thus is the rightful heir to the throne.
