Biography
Early Years
Rais was born in the Palatium Crystallum in Sol during the reign of his Great-Grandfather Celestius X. He was raised in the Palace and was mostly isolated from the outside world during his early childhood. His father & mother were just 16 when Rais was born, and grew up with parents that were just teenagers. Rais would be heir-apparent at age 8, when his Grandfather, Casimir V, died after suffering from Pneumonia.
During his early childhood, he was taken cared of by his mother, Princess Blosia Chaixius, and a handmaiden. He was taught by the Disciplina Marcus Luvidua in the Palace. He was a reserved and enigmatic prince who seldom laughed, spoke little, and wrote less unlike his Father. He barely had any friends and even his younger brother, Prince Jae-Seo was not fond of Rais personality. This would start a brotherly rivalry that would last until the death of Rais. There are reports of fights between Jae-Seo and Rais that cause some damage to their estate, as they enlisted their friends to fight each other with sticks. One incident resulted in Rais and Jae-Seo breaking a nose and rib respectfully, making their mother send them to a Military Academy for undisciplined boys.
While at the Academy, Rais made friends and even became more disciplined as time went on. He was trained in formation, and within a year, led his own military exercises as a Private-Aid-Camp Scout. It was also during his time at the Academy that he became friends with a teacher and military officer, Gene Scharts who tutored and mentored Rais on rules and discipline.
