History: Elante was born to a family in Terra with a long history of magical prowess. The Vadrillion family was a wealthy, old-money bloodline with many powerful and influential mages to their name. His early life was one of privilege but isolation - he was homeschooled and largely refused access to the world outside his family's estate unless in the company of his mother or father, who whilst they were not cruel parents, were distant.
He had few friends, and as he aged into his teens, he felt that all the more keenly. He latched onto stories from his magical tutor about the place that he had learned his craft, an eminent magical academy called the Luminous Spire. Both the stories of how talented the mages there were and the social escapades his tutor got up to while studying sounded brilliant to the young boy, and he dreamed of one day flying his home-schooled nest to attend the academy himself.
His life would be turned upside-down when he - venturing into his tutor's books on summoning spells - thought to conjure forth a creature from another realm as a form of companionship and to prove his talent, thinking perhaps if he excelled enough he could bypass his parents and gain entry to the prestigious school without their financial support.
The spell didn't go entirely to plan. Due to a mishap with the book's condition, he inadvertently directed his spell to the wrong plane entirely, and instead of conjuring forth a simple imp, his magic drew a being from a far more obscure realm: Lustre.
When Aeryn, a young Lustran teen of his age, appeared in his room, Elante was initially confused and terrified, but he quickly came to realise the silvery-haired boy was in fact not so different from him. He listened in horror to Aeryn's stories of his origins, and promised he wouldn't force the other boy to go back there. This promise led to him coming into conflict with his father, who mistrusted the extraplanar boy and was furious at Elante having invited him into their home. Thankfully, Elante was able to win his tutor over to his side, and between the two of them were able to talk his father around.
Aeryn and Elante grew to be close friends over the following year, before Elante's dissatisfaction with his family came to a head - Elante's father, growing increasingly suspicious of the nature of his son's relationship with the "demon" he'd summoned, sought to send Aeryn back from whence he came. Elante intervened, turning his own magic against his father to stop him. He didn't hurt his father, but through turning his magic against him, and the words exchanged in anger on both sides, it was clear that their familial relationship had reached breaking point.
The very next day, Elante walked out of his home with Aeryn and never went back.
He was able to gain entry to the Luminous Spire later that year after demonstrating his talent, and studied there for a year before he and Aeryn were drawn into the Orsa Wars, fighting to save Valore from the encroachment of an ancient evil known as the Sealed One. During the conflict, after Aeryn was banished, the two were separated. Unable to conjure Aeryn back to him due to the rare components required in the ritual to reach such an obscure realm, Elante was forced to fight on without him. He spent a period of time in Aelora, where he and the rest of the heroes involved in the war sought the knowledge needed to defeat the Sealed One permanently before they returned to Terra to bring the conflict to a close.
Not long after they returned, he was reunited with a much-changed (for the better) Aeryn, who had fought his way through the godlike ruler of his home-realm to make his way back to him, and it was at that point he knew without a doubt that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.
Terra's destruction during the final conflict of the war has hit Elante harder than Aeryn, given that Terra was and always had been his home. He had a lot of love for the wondrous magics and liberal, open-minded outlook of his homeland, not to mention the fact that his family - albeit estranged - all dwelled in the region obliterated by the blast. He still feels guilty that they weren't able to save his homeland, but understands that the consequences would have been far worse if they hadn't acted.
He and Aeryn were married soon after the war ended, and Elante still sometimes wonders what he did to deserve such a wonderful hand from fate on the day he first summoned him, and finds it hard to believe that after everything Aeryn's become to his home realm, he still remained by his side.
The Luminous Spire survived the destruction due to being relatively isolated and distant from central Terra, and Elante has dwelt there ever since, taking on an assistant-teacher role while also studying for higher honors as a graduate student (Scarlet awarded him an honorary first-class degree for the magical prowess he demonstrated during the war upon their return).
The rise of Varnathus near the site of the Luminous Spire has brought new conflict and trouble into Aeryn and Elante's lives. As a stronghold of powerful mages on their doorstep, the Luminous Spire was naturally a target for the magic-hating nation. To make matters worse, its powerful and wilful archmage - Scarlet Dae - was missing. In the absence of her decisive leadership, the Spire's senior magi opted to go on the defensive, employing powerful magical barriers to seal the academy away behind its walls, keeping Varnathus and weathering the storm.
Aeryn, Elante, and a number of the other mages who had fought in the Orsa conflicts, or else had more backbone, took issue with this decision. At first, they attempted to sway the council's minds - but they were largely unified in their fear and desire to stay hidden. After they disobeyed the ruling to strike out against Varnathan forces several times, the council opted to demand that they leave the Spire, to avoid drawing the nation's ire any further.
Since then, Aeryn, Elante, and a small group of other mages from the Spire have joined with Tersyr and the other peoples fighting Varnathus to lend their support. Though they are a small group, both Aeryn and Elante are heroes of an uncommon calibre, and their strength is enough to give much greater forces cause for concern.
Once an air-headed and buoyant individual with a naively optimistic outlook, Elante has since matured a great deal, though he remains a positive and bright person despite all he's been through. He's come a long way from the sheltered, nervous boy who first set foot out of his family home, and has become a confident, passionate young man with a fiery disposition to compliment his husband's.

Abilities:
- Arcane Casting: Elante is a prodigiously talented spellcaster, capable of wielding magic on par with mages far his senior. As well as being naturally gifted thanks in part to his heritage, his magical development has been fast-tracked by the urgency of his role in the Orsa Wars, forcing him to grow stronger and stronger to keep pace with the dangers he and his friends were faced with. The following are his fields of specialisation, though he has an extensive repertoire of magic in many schools of specialisation.
- Conjuration: Elante's specialisation is conjuration magic, the summoning of extraplanar creatures, objects and energies, and the use of teleportation magic.
- Enhancement Magic: Elante's secondary specialisation is in magic that enhances the capabilities of others and supports them in combat, be that increasing their speed and reaction times, wreathing them in a protective shield, amplifying their strength or other such examples.
- Heart's Promise: The pair to the amulet he gifted Aeryn on their wedding day, this amulet is forged of equal parts gold and silver, and holds a single ruby gem at its centre. It is enchanted with a powerful magical shield that protects Elante from harm and allows him to telepathically contact Aeryn's mirrored version of it no matter where they are, even across planar boundaries.
- Aeryn Vadrillion - Husband: Aeryn is Elante's hero. He sees the Lustran warrior as his knight in shining armour, his best friend, and his love. He'll forever be grateful to the other boy for saving him from a life of loneliness and eventual brainwashing into stiff formality like his father. Although his hotheaded attitude can give Elante trouble at times, he's usually more than happy to follow Aeryn into the fray.
- Scarlet Dae - Friend/Boss: The headmaster and archmage of the Luminous Spire, Scarlet is Elante's idol in many ways. Having fought alongside one another in the Orsa wars, they have a closer and more informal relationship than would be expected between a graduate student and the head of a prestigious school, which has occasionally been a point of contention for their peers. Elante fears for what might have happened to Scarlet, and for the fate of the Luminous Spire without her leadership.
- The Elysian Vanguard - Allies: Elante has many friends and allies amongst the Elysian Vanguard (or, those few individuals who comprised it during the Orsa Wars). Though the group have gone their separate ways, Elante - like Aeryn - would readily go to the aid of any of his former friends, if they had need of him.
