-Adomnan fancies
himself an intellectual. Although rather eccentrically aloof in nature, his
intrinsic ambition makes him an outspoken politician. Being somewhat ostentatious
in style and burdened by the stigma of his family name (the preceding generation
of which entered into government by objectionable means) with it's corresponding
demons, he is rendered something of an outsider in Ainessa's aristocratic
society.
Adomnan is painfully aware of his social status and, either out of stubbornness
or lack of savvy, never budges from his contextually odd tendencies. Instead,
he focuses on achieving some level of reverence for the newly ordained Gannon
family through his perceived skills as an ambassador.
Standing quite directly in the way of Adomnan's usefulness in Council is Regin
Faolan--who's not only his hindrance, but his social opposite as well. Taken
aback with Regin's enduring prestige (even after abandoning his military and
political obligations), Adomnan further nourishes his previously existing
resentment. An extreme injustice from his perspective, it only makes him doubly
tenacious in his pursuit of familial veneration.
