Balthazar O. Sebastian was born in 859 into a prestigious family of servants in the kingdom of Abhartach. His parents, Elric and Selene Sebastian, were renowned for their dedication and expertise. From a young age, Balthazar was groomed for a life of service, beginning his formal education in the art of servitude at nine.
At fifteen, Balthazar was apprenticed to the current head butler, Edmund Crane, where he excelled and quickly rose through the ranks. By twenty-two, he had been promoted to junior butler, taking on more complex responsibilities and managing a team of servants. His efficiency and dedication set him apart from his peers.
In 889, at the age of thirty, Balthazar was appointed as the personal butler to King Marcus Aumont. His exceptional understanding of royal protocols and discreet handling of sensitive matters earned him a revered place in the king’s court. Over the decades, Balthazar solidified his role as a trusted advisor and confidant, becoming an integral part of the palace’s operations.
Balthazar married his wife, Seraphina, in his early thirties. They had two children: a son named Alistair, who followed in his father's footsteps and is a junior butler, and a daughter named Elara, who has taken on a role in palace administration. Sadly, Seraphina recently passed away, leaving Balthazar to continue his service with the same dedication and resilience that have defined his career. Now, at sixty-three, Balthazar has spent forty-eight years in his esteemed position, embodying the tradition and loyalty of his family’s long service. His lifetime commitment continues to be a cornerstone of the royal court, reflecting the honor and dedication that define his career.
