Personality: Apathetic and Sarcastic would be the first impression he gives off. Beyond that he is very emotionally reserved and speaks like one of high breeding. He's generally quite sure of himself and uneasy with others. He behaves frequently as though he is above and separate from whatever is going on around him. He is the type that cares deeply but has a hard time with confronting his own feelings.

Background: Jacan was the youngest of seven children born to a king. He doesn't recall much about his youth, but knows he was only about two when his father's second wife put a curse on him and his five brothers turning them into swans. Their only salvation was his sister who hadn't been seen by their step mother. But to break the curse she was required to neither speak or laugh for six years and weave a shirt of starwort for each of the brothers. Being so young when the curse was enacted he spent the majority of his early childhood as a swan, with only 15 minutes a day where he could shift into his human form. He had heard from those at the castle that his sister had suffered greatly for her dedication to his brothers and him. While she'd been chosen by a king and married in the time she made the shirt, her mother in law hated her and stole all three of her children after birth and accused his sister of eating her own infants and was about to be burned at the stake when she had finally be silent long enough to break the curse.. unfortunately she was unable to finish all of the shirts and Jacan was left with the arm of a swan.
So his life as a noble prince as far as he was concerned didn't start till he was just over eight years old. Life in the castle was peaceful and while he was still young he liked to be a clown among his brothers.. But as he aged the difference in his appearance began to wear on him. At all the grand celebrations he could hear the whispers among the crowd. “My goodness, the young prince would be quite attractive.. if it wasn't for his misfortune.” That's what all the nobles referred to it as his misfortune as if he were less of a person because of a curse he did nothing to deserve. This caused him to be become introverted in his early teens, he started to skip events held at the castle and spend large quantities of time alone in the woods and practicing sword play.
When he was seventeen he was arranged to marry a princess from a neighboring kingdom. It was a good marriage for him, the princess was the only heir to the throne which meant that he would be king upon their marriage. He had thought her to be very beautiful and shortly after their marriage she gave birth to a healthy looking child. He was so happy that he didn't pay any heed to the fact the child didn't look like him. But the truth, as he soon found out, was not so warm and lovely. His bride seemed to be already smitten by another in the court and when Jacan over heard to two plotting to take him out the truth in his marriage was clear. The princess had only wanted an excuse to bear a child and seize the crown for herself. Jacan was no longer needed, but more importantly, he no longer wished to live. He went to the highest tower in the castle and jumped. Death however was not to be his fate. He hit the moat below and was transported to a different world, Fabula.
