Tall and lithe, he balanced his playful theatrics with a keen, observant mind, reading the court’s every tension and secret while cloaking his sharp wit in laughter and performance. His charm was disarming, a careful mix of irreverent humor and subtle elegance, making him indispensable to nobility.
