Selim (CTD)
Duke Selim is a Sidhe of House Fiona from the Kingdom of the White Sands.
Overview
Many think the duke is an eshu, with his dark skin and rich, deep voice, but he's a sidhe through and through; it's a bit more difficult to see his ears under the huge turban, though. As a leading member of Loki's Brood, he's constantly spurring the Parliament of Dreams to consider outlandish changes. On the other hand, the minute the legislative body considers something innovative, he pushes for more traditional reforms. Duke Selim is the ultimate political gadfly and most sidhe would love to give him a good drubbing, were it not for his charming and witty repartee. He doesn't, however, engage in mindless fluff. The duke deals in facts, solid predictions, and uncanny bits of wisdom. A compliment from Selim is praise indeed. While he generally acts Seelie in terms of House Fiona's honor, his fickle ways are more Unseelie. His lover, a beautiful young woman only sen at night, is also a mystery. Whatever the case, Selim spends much of his time at Caer Flamingo in the company of the lovely Queen Morganna. Gossip speculates that they have had an affair.
