Astraeus is a gentle, polite and friendly young man who really wants nothing more than a peaceful existence and the opportunity to help people out every so often. Unfortunately, he's also the son of Francesco Graves-Cargan and Armand Cargan-Graves, so that's unlikely to happen any time soon.

As of Conclave Arcana, Astraeus is living with his uncle Walter.

As of Dissonance, Astraeus can no longer associate his nobility with himself. For all effects which use his own (rather than others') perception of his rank, he is a common citizen of Acryn. He has also developed a slight interest in the arcane arts, and a concern for criminal justice.
