• social etiquette; he fancies it as one might a beloved "game," utilizing it as a tool of manipulation.
• gentlemen's clubs.
• obedience; conversely, he rather enjoys it tempered with a degree of assertiveness, a quality he enjoys nourishing and trampling in a cyclic manner, never quite annihilating it utterly within his victims.
• swordplay.
• the assorted maids—former slaves all—whose services are employed within the confines of his manor, though not explicitly for the reasons one might immediately generalize.
DISLIKES
• lack of restraint exhibited in either himself or others.
• undue curiosity or recurrent attention expressed towards the mask habitually worn upon the right side of his face.

• ineloquent women of the peerage; they lack the discipline necessitated of their assumed roles within high society.
INVENTORY
• an elegant sword-cane affixed with a serpent motif.
• a mysterious if stylish white half-mask, seldom unpolished.
• a bejeweled rosary gifted to him in his adolescence by a female first-cousin; its various beads are adorned with the initials of his personal relations amongst other encoded information.
• several pairs of prescription eyeglasses.
• a small black book suffused with his various observations and thoughts, instances of poetry and prose, as well as other miscellaneous information he deems significant and thus should be readily accessible.
EXTRAS» the earl lamia was a swordsman par excellence in his youth, often employing his talent in the defense or reclamation of a lady's honor or as mere amusement for other members of the peerage; highly-praised, onlookers regularly remarked that his flair for the blade, at times, seemingly bordered on the "supernatural." his capacity for swordplay has only mellowed in his adulthood.
» having never taken a wife, xenophon has long been plagued by a persisting quandary: the apparent future of his estate.
» the man yet retains a lingering affection for an aforementioned first-cousin—notably, he suspects the same of her—, undoubtedly the first girl to express any of the various hues of adoration towards him, by both his reckoning and recollection; predictably, their meetings are seldom without an underlying element of tension.
