"A Nightingale rued being caged. He got free but then found that the outside world was a miserable place to one not raised there. Realization was his death.

It’s not always greener on the other side of the fence."

He, like his name, is appropriately dramatic. He's charming and polite, and always surrounds himself with a presentably impenetrable confidence. He however, like his castle, holds his darkness below. His debilitating fears of the outside, aversion to change, and the shadows of paranoia that creep through his every action create a stygian who's far more of a coward than his demeanor may originally let on. His ambition to feel in control of every aspect of his own life leaves little room for outside forces and his closemindedness can lead him to being powerfully stubborn.

He isn't unabashedly evil nor does he intentionally hurt people, but his selfish desire to protect himself often leads to others getting caught in the crossfire of his lashing out and his decisions often neglect to leave room for others.
