Master Storyteller Irtrus Meinstars

His face is soft yet angular in all the right places, giving him a "pretty boy" kind of vibe. He has long eye lashes, feathery eyebrows, heart shaped lips and a roman nose.
His entire presence radiates a sense of elegance, charm, innocence and a certain je-ne-sais-quoi.
Irtrus wears the colourful, heavily embellished clothing typical for the south. He particularly likes warm, dark shades of pink and magenta.

Personality Characteristics
Irtrus is driven by becoming the very best storyteller there is. He wants to rise through the ranks of the StA and take over the mantle of Guild Master one day.
He has a presence that permeates a room, whenever he enters he's not necessarily commanding attention, but people want to look. He is naturally someone people are drawn to. Compared to Auun, he is more understated and calm but still charismatic. His aura seems to bear a certain innocene and friendlyness that makes him feel approachable. He curates an image of being understanding and compassionate. Has flawless etiquette at all times.
Very manipulative, has power over people and isn't afraid to use it, arrogant but in a subtle way (doesn't show it usually), competitive to a fault, cunning, repressed anger issues, can't take criticism well but pretends he does, thinks he's better than everyone and hides it behind a condescending smile.
Hygiene is crucial to Irtrus because first impressions matter and it shows off his status as a high class individual.
Social
He is very well connected and has contacts all over Arregeas as well as numerous high profile relations.
Irtrus is on excellent terms with not only his immediate but also his vast extended family. They regularly meet for family dinners and he often travels with them when he is doing research for his stories.
Irtrus has a lot of "understated charisma". Compared to someone like Auun it doesn't hit you in the face, but is a lot more subtle. His confidence and ego are quite big as well but he is good at hiding the latter. Irtrus' etiquette is always spot on.
Rarely uses hypotheticals (expressions like "might", "could" "would" etc.) because he is certain that if he wants something he will get it. Relies on his voice and miniscule facial expressions to get his point across, doesn't gesture much, only as to really emphasize a point. His body language is very controlled and deliberately used.
Irtrus' speech is calm and measured , his voice carries well and has a trustworthy, warm quality to it.
Fellow Storyteller (Important)
History
Auun and Irtrus joined the StA in the same year and were both young prospects destined to set the storyteller world alight but for very different reasons. Auun quickly regarded Irtrus as a threat and his biggest rival, but Irtrus has always had a rather nonchalant attitude towards Auun, which infuriated him even more than the mere presence of Irtrus. They were both in a race of rising through the ranks, Auun bitterly wanting to reach the next higher status first, which he largely achieved, except for the most important one: Master Storyteller. In the end Irtrus got there first, which Auun hates.
Relationship Reasoning
They both joined the StA at around the same time so they were often grouped together for assignments.
In the beginning Auun had something like a crush on Irtrus, but Irtrus wasn't interested.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
They both love storytelling and both want to achieve the level of master storyteller. Both of them want to one day take over the StA
Shared Acquaintances
Quite a lot of people from the StA
Coming from a rather well off merchant family and being one of the most successful storytellers Irtrus has quite the coin.
