Summer King
The Summer King is an Unseelie Sidhe Grump formerly of House Ailil and a member of the Court of Astarte.
Overview
The Summer King remembers neither his years in Arcadia nor any other time. He cannot even recall his real name. Captured by Astarte during the Resurgence in 1969, the Summer King is a blank slate on which she may write anything she wishes. Recognizing his raw charisma, she set him up as the ruler of the Renaissance Fair. In this capacity, he serves as a lightening rod for any trouble while Astarte keeps to the shadows. The other fae in her court obey the Summer King, but they know where the true power lies.

Fair as a summer day, the Summer King is the quintessential wise sidhe noble. He is beautiful beyond human ken, and both the joy of youth and the wisdom of the ages dance in his eyes. He has long silver hair and the bearing of a fae lord of antiquity. He wears flowing robes of green and silver (even in his mortal seeming) and a crown of summer leaves and berries. Despite his great grace and beauty, there is an air of sadness about him.
Personal
This world is so flawed, unlike his own great beauty and wisdom. Astarte tells him that someday he may rule all of Arcadia when she returns there, but for now he is the king of the carnival, and of the Arcadia fragment she keeps in he Spriggan's Jar. He is more beautiful more polished, and generally superior ro everyone he meets. The rest of the world exists only to serve his secretly jaded pleasures.
Note
The Summer King is a practitioner of Morpheas Sabinis. He uses his Arts to bend others to his will, and then orders them to forget through his Chicanery or Sovereign Arts. Astarte indulges his predilections as long as they do not endanger the carnival. Despite his puppet status to Astarte, the Summer King is quite powerful in his own right.
