Character Name: Hyacinthe
Age at the Reunion: 36ish, doesn't look it.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Hyacinthe is too pretty for all the awful things about to happen to him, but, SIGH, that's how the world works.

After graduation and a summer traveling with a modern day kumpania, the Miller Family Carnival, Hyacinthe goes home to canon and a great deal of suck. The worst of it culminates in a trip to Alba (fantasy!England), falling in love with a girl, watching her die, and then solving a riddle so his other sorta-girlfriend can go on and finish her adventures while he stays stuck on an island.

He stayed stuck on this island for more than a decade. Mind, in that time, he became the Master of the Straits, learning the language of angels and gaining power and dominion over the sea, all creatures who dwell in the water, weather,
seabirds, and pretty much anything else that involves air and water, but...more than ten years. On a crappy island. It was pretty terrible.

Fortunately, about a year ago, his best friend came through with the True Name of God and used it to banish the angel that created the curse because he loved a D'Angeline girl free Hyacinthe. After a little while of wandering around Terre D'Ange and reacquainting himself with the concept of 'not being trapped on a tiny island', Hyacinthe took off to spend some more time with the Millers. He'd hoped his powers could help Ada, but there's no magic that can overpower biology. Instead he works, telling fortunes with the dromonde, keeping the skies clear wherever the carnival sets up shop, making sure Ada is comfortable, and enjoying being around people who don't look at him in awe.

How Your Character Can Fit In: He was a pretty lousy correspondent for the 10+ years he was trapped on an island with no way off, but since coming back to Earth, he's probably sent out a few letters trying to reconnect with people. And, like Roscoe, since he's new, I'm absolutely willing to assume he's made friends over the years with people he hasn't yet had a chance to meet.
