ARSEN CALVERT HARRINGTON

biography

Arsen Calvert Harrington was born on November 9th, to New York business mogul Calvert Harrington and an alluring woman who called herself Aurora. He was the eldest child and only son and born five minutes before his twin sister Asher. For the first few months of their life, the new family of four lived in one of New York's most coveted real estate spaces, on the corner of 81st street and fifth avenue. 

However, one late spring afternoon, as the city was engulfed in rain, Aurora disappeared into the street, never to be heard from or seen again and Calvert Harrington was left with two newborn children and nothing but the memory of the love of his life. Growing up, Arsen saw his father emerge himself into work, expanding his business and building his massive fortune but sinking into an inevitable and dark depression. 

At age thirteen, Arsen finally learned the truth about who his mother's identity and who he really was. After sneaking out of his house with his sister, the twins found themselves wondering across Central Park in the wee hours of the night, something that was not only dangerous in the human world, but also lead to him becoming an easy pray to the creatures and monsters that lurked in the night. Shortly after walking past the Bethesda Fountain, the twins were attacked by a monster and saved only by a homeless man that had been a constant background presence in their life since they were children. The homeless man turned out to be their satyr.

Their arrival at Camp Half-Blood was, for the most part, a bittersweet experience. It provided Arsen with a sense of belonging, of understanding the parts of himself that he had thought were missing but it also lead to him feeling more resentment towards his mother and in a sense, it created more distance between him and his father, who was already fading away. Therefore it was a mutual decision between Arsen and Asher to spend their summers at Camp Half-Blood and the rest of the year in their native New York.

With no parental supervision whatsoever, Arsen's nanny rotation was unlike any other and the boy thrived from pushing authority and developed a knack for getting what he wanted. He dealt with his mother's abandonment by experimenting with illegal substances and by the age of fifteen, he had managed to sneak into every single bar and nightclub in Manhattan. Tragedy struck the household when, at only 47 years-old, Calvert Harrington was found in his New York home dead from an overdose. The death of New York's business mogul left a deep wound in the Harrington twins and at age sixteen, Arsen became the richest teenager in New York City. 

That didn't come without its consequences though. Though he was left in the care of his paternal aunt Annelise Harrington, Arsen was on the fast track to a life of excess and debauchery and it resulted in his expulsion from the Dalton School and therefore never finished high school. Throughout the course of his life, Arsen always noticed things that made him feel different from other children. He was always a night owl and thrived during the wee hours of the morning when it was darkest. He enjoyed staying out late and engaging in things that were far from his comprehension. 

Personality

Arsen is a playful individual that thrives off beings social and having a close knit group of friends. He enjoys building new friendships, getting to know others, and mentoring the younger kids so they can discover their true potential and develop their abilities. He is a social butterfly, seemingly floating naturally at all types of social events and can be so charismatic that whenever he engages with someone, it can seem as though they've been friends for decades. He uses his charisma and social demeanor to his advantage in getting what he wants. 

He can be insecure and self-conscious at times and that has made him extremely aware of his surroundings. He doesn't like to talk about himself and would rather keep the conversation lively and relatively superficial. He hides his vices and addictive personality from others and would never admit to something being wrong with him. He hides under a strong coat of pretending and is comfortable that way.

Arsen needs constant attention and doesn't like to be invisible or overlooked. He is good at reading the room and conducts himself in a manner that, for the most part, doesn't rub off people the wrong way. He doesn't get angry often and like the rest of his more intense emotions, he prefers to bury them underneath layers of calm and collectedness.
