Crown Prince of Hu

The Crown Prince (aka the Prince Regent, given name Clovis) is the second child of King Seb of Hu and the Late Queen and the presumed heir to the throne. In the year FD 5, the Crown Prince is 18 years old.

Compared to his sister the Princess who inherited their mother's tall, thin frame, the Prince is slightly shorter than average and has a round boyish face. He has jet black hair which he keeps long. The Crown Prince is above all self important; when news of his father's captivity reached the Hu Court he immediately had himself invested as Prince Regent. He has little aptitude for war but desires military glory. The Prince can also be childish and brooding.

The Crown Prince was very close to his late mother, who died when he was still a child. His relationship with his sister the Princess is complicated: the two are allies in the decision to leave their father to rot rather than attempting to gather the ransom money, but both are vying for power.

The Crown Prince's attitude towards his sister is colored by a lack of respect for women and smug satisfaction with his power as Prince Regent. The Prince Regent's exclusion of the Princess from state meetings is the source of much of the siblings' contention: if he had allowed his sister more involvement in governmental affairs, their escalating rivalry may have been avoided.

While there is a line the Princess would not cross in her attempts to prevail over her brother, it is less clear what the Crown Prince is capable of.
