Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )

(sips more coffee) Just stand way, way back for the screeching, rock throwing, poo flinging conniption fit. Followed quite possibly with a bit of pleading, whimpering and crying. p.s. personally inspite of near extinction I’d rather be an Orangutan than a human.
