Overview
Although lean and wiry in his youth, this man fills out his form more solidly now. He has perfectly proportioned features and flawless skin that is almost feminine in nature were it not for the Drik-may-care smirk and flashing grin. His wild red curls have been tamed to a degree although his locks tend to flop into his eyes when he lets them grow out too long. He walks with a lazy strut, as if, even in the dead of winter, it were too hot out to put much effort into it.
He likes to drink hard, he likes to party hard. He is an avid explorer and adventurer, although he doesn't brag about it. He enjoys mysteries and delves into heavy reading and research. He isn't above taking a risk if there is a chance for a good outcome. Or just for fun.
Family Life
Siblings
Diamia: Diamia is Banian's older sister. She's the Clan Leader, a position that Banian sort of hoped for when he was younger. When they were children, Banian tortured her mercilessly, killing her dolls and stuff like that. Now? He's more subtle, doing things like bribing Diamia's first born daughter Anais (his favourite niece) to SQUEAL all the time. In the end, though, she IS family. And another pro-Ibania IstaNydiam. So just because he can be less than civil to her, doesn't mean he'd stand for anyone else to be.
Aeryk: Probably his best friend. Banian and Aeryk may disagree from time to time (cockfights? Ibania? Sore subjects), but they tend to keep it in private. Banian would do anything to help his brother, and tends to see him as he did when they children; Aeryk used to be his shadow. Nowadays, Aeryk is more of a sounding board for the things that Banian knows he can't say in public. Still, they tend to be rather hard to separate.
Cecilia: Well. She's really only his half-sister, being Lucretia-spawn. But whatever. He doesn't pay her much attention, but when she asks for something, he tends to buy it for her. It's how Banian deals with children that are related to him. At least she's a Zinian.

Accomplishments
Judge for a Day
Lord Banian was made a Republic Judge. It was fantastic, until he made his first judgment. He made quite a few enemies that day, and Lord Banian is no longer a Judge. Funny that.
Republic Military - Centurion
Under reasons that are unknown, Lord Banian is a Centurion in the Hawk Squad.
Cockatrice District Overseer
Lord Banian's so far greatest accomplishment politically is becoming the Cockatrice District Overseer. He looks after the sanitation, orderliness, construction and building, security, beautification (stop your laughing) and generally is the person you see if you want or need anything in the district. He's had it since January 41 AU. So far, the longest position he's held!
The Royal Aerval Adventure Company
Details are sketchy about this rather occult group. There are it appears Chapter Halls across Aerval in the major cities. You'll have to talk to Banian about it most likely for more information.
Betrothed to Princess Thaddia
Princess Thaddia Elianik is the woman whom Lord Centurion Overseer Banian IstaNydiam will marry. Banian is resigned to this, though he puts on a brave face for the 'little people' that get to be inspired by their, er, fairy tale romance.
The Winter Solstice Festivals of 41 AU
The city was his playground, and with it, Lord Banian and Princess Thaddia held spectacular events throughout the month of January in respect for the Winter Solstice. It was enjoyed by many, and showed the capabilities of the Cockatrice Lord in organising things.
Allies
Diamia, Rikon, Marsalos, Rusul, Barasa, Daphrus, Great Grandpa Zin.
Enemies
Dringles, Cortik
Scandals
Judge for a Day
Lord Banian thought he knew law. He was wrong. Law isn't about Right or Justice. It is about Politics. A lesson well learned! Even if learned the hard way. It made Banian very depressed for awhile when he made so many people he respected upset at him
Taleo made the following judgment on Firan time: 12:00:58 PM on Fri Oct 11, in the year 40 A.U.: Lord Banian IstaNydiam made a judgment against the First Division in his acquittal of Mer Dalinuel of the Bear Clan. The First Division has laid many charges of tresspassing on those that moved beyond barriers that were clearly marked denying entry. For those that do not read, these signs are certainly expressive enough that anyone with common sense would indeed not enter. But by habit or gross ignorance, Republic citizens have been entering the cordoned of area, an area that poses serious personal risk. The First Division does not have a thousand guards to spare to ensure that people obey simple "Do not enter" signs. Lord Banian's assumption that the First Division was somehow responsible is grossly incorrect. On these grounds I am overruling Lord Banian's judgment on all counts, in both Mer Dalineul's innocence and in the fines he has laid against the First Division. A single judge will be assigned all the trespassing trials at the appropriate time, and a judgment will be passed then.%r%rLord Banian IstaNydiam was a judge in his first trial, and so I would normally not hold such mistakes against him. We expect those that hold such honored positions to learn from their mistakes. Instead of following the direction of Prince Argin, whom was acting in his position as Deputy Viceroy, Lord Banian flat-out refused the guidance given and further insulted the institution of the Republic. This, over a man whom was caught trespassing. I can't say that this follows the behavior of a rational person. This is also not proper behavior for a man that is currently courting Princess Thaddia, an arrangement the Republic will need to review with the Cockatrice Clan.%r%rLord Banian IstaNydiam is fined two million stenis for flatly disobeying Prince Deputy Viceroy Argin Elianik, and a further two million stenis for not properly respecting his position as Republic Judge. He is, of course, fired. %r%rThe First Division is thanked for their patience in this matter. And for future notice, a Republic Judge does not have the powers to find the First Division guilty of a crime for doing their jobs. Should there be an issues in the way the First Division conducts itself, this matter is to be brought up to the Minister of Justice for review.
The Swim
Details are sketchy - was he pushed in? Did he fall in drunk? Did he jump in? What in Aerval happened? All that is known is that Lord Banian emerged after two people rescued him. He doesn't like talking about it.
Execution Party
Alright, so this wasn't HIS party, but Lord Banian held a party in the IstaNydiam Palace. A lot of people were there, and it was going absolutely brilliant! That is, until his sister, Diamia came in. That's when everyone found out Banian's full name, as Diamia yelled out, "LORD BANIAN ZARID BANNOS ISTANYDIAM!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!" It's bad when your mother calls your name out - it's worse when your sister is doing it, and she holds the bling! She then made it an Execution Party if people didn't vacate within ten seconds. You won't believe me, but I don't think people really enjoyed the thought of her party, so they left.
Lord Kraken
There are rumours that Lord Banian knows who the enigmatic Lord Kraken is. And from the stories told between men and women at inns and taverns, this Lord Kraken is an extremely adventurous, bold Hero.
