Exceptional in many ways especially in dance and vocals and excels in charisma but is ultimately possessive. Vocal range: Db3-Ab4

Charlemagne and Fastrada’s son. Strong and self-involved. Pippin’s half-brother and after Pippin, heir to the throne. Addicted to the physical. Lewis loves weightlifting. Lewis loves wrestling, but most of all, Lewis loves Lewis. Excellent dancer as Lewis emerges from the players.

A greek chorus of sorts of exceptional dancers and singers. They are enticing, seductive, and exceptional in many ways.
