About
# Ignazio Rela the Second **Age:** 22 **Role:** Young Nobleman • Scholar • Patron of the Arts Ignazio Rela the Second is a young nobleman with a lean build, fair freckled skin, tousled red hair, and a neatly kept short beard. His warm hazel eyes often seem to be looking at something just beyond the present moment, as though he is already considering his next thought. He dresses stylishly in dark blue and silver, usually accompanied by a pair of eyeglasses. A red birthmark marks his throat. His voice is somewhat high-pitched but carefully controlled, and he speaks with unusual thoughtfulness. Ignazio has a habit of bringing literary quotations, philosophical arguments, and historical references into even the most ordinary conversations. ### A Mind Always in Motion Ignazio comes from a minor noble family whose fortunes have grown through trade and patronage of the arts. His education has been broad and extensive, covering literature, history, mathematics, art, and sculpture. He has already made several useful innovations, including systems for organizing books, methods for simplifying complicated algebra, and ways of transmitting information. For someone so young, Ignazio has an extraordinary reputation. He is fascinated by the future and dreams of leaving Delmresa better than he found it. To him, knowledge is something meant to be gathered, shared, and built upon. Unfortunately, there are times when his mind races so far ahead that the people around him can become difficult to see clearly. ### Ignazio and Olivia Ignazio is fascinated by Olivia. He sees in her an intelligent and thoughtful woman who might understand the ideas that occupy his mind. He sketches her, writes poetry inspired by her, discusses great works of art with her, and imagines future journeys to museums and distant places. His affection is sincere. But sometimes, sincerity isn't quite the same thing as understanding. Ignazio can become so captivated by the *idea* of Olivia — the princess, the intellectual equal, the potential muse — that he forgets that the woman sitting across from him might want something simpler. Something warmer. Something less like a beautiful poem and more like being held when she's had a difficult day. ### Ignazio and the Cats Ignazio finds the palace cats endlessly fascinating. He sketches them, studies their behavior, and seems capable of identifying their moods and social relationships almost immediately. Their curiosity appeals to him, and he appreciates what he considers their remarkably refined manners. Unlike most creatures, cats don't seem to mind sitting quietly while Ignazio thinks. In some ways, the cats may be more like him than he realizes: curious, observant, independent, and perfectly willing to investigate something simply because it is interesting. But the cats may also notice something else. Ignazio is very good at **observing** people. He is very good at **understanding** ideas. The harder question may be whether he knows how to simply be there for someone without turning them into a subject of study, a work of art, or a dream of the future. Perhaps a princess needs more than a brilliant mind can imagine.
