<div>Tristan's public persona is that of a rich playboy, and in truth he ''is'' a rich playboy. He was born into incredible wealth, ~~with his yearly stipend being a million Euros~~ and ~~his family having over 10 billion Euros in assets. To put it mildly, he is a disappointment~~ to ~~his family~~. ~~While he~~ will inherit the noble title upon his father's death, ~~his younger sister~~ and ~~the pride of the family is due to inherit 9/10ths of~~ the family's ~~assets~~.

<div>Tristan's public persona is that of a rich playboy, and in truth he ''is'' a rich playboy. He was born into incredible wealth, and everything has come easily to him. He will inherit the noble title and the family's wealth upon his father's death, and has been groomed for that role from a young age. He has also been fully indoctrinated into the family's arcane dealings, and has discovered that he has a talent for it.

Both parents are still alive. His father, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Carlisle Earl of Carlisle] in England, is from one of the oldest noble families and owns about [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/17/who-owns-england-thousand-secret-landowners-author one third] of the land in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbria Cumbria] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland Northumberland] counties. His mother is ethnically Chinese and was born in Hong Kong. She inherited her family's expansive shipping business there. They met and married while his father was in Hong Kong, partly because it was a good financial union.

~~Alexander~~ was born in Hong Kong in ~~1994~~, ~~before the handoff of Hong Kong back to China~~. As such~~, being also ethnically (part-)Chinese,~~ he is both a Chinese citizen and a UK citizen. He is currently living in Arkham and ~~is about~~ to get ~~his US citizenship~~.

Tristan was born in Hong Kong in 1901, while his parents were handling business there. As such he is both a Chinese citizen and a UK citizen. He is currently living in Arkham, Massachusetts, and was "fortunate" to get a visa despite the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act).

Tristan's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpeth,_Northumberland Viscount of Morpeth] title is a ''courtesy'' title, since he is the heir to the Earl title.

~~While not overly amorous, Alexander~~'s ~~(Alistair?)~~ parents staunchly support each other and the family, which means everything to them. They met in ~~1991 when his father stayed in~~ Hong Kong ~~for 8 years~~. The ~~[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handover_of_Hong_Kong Sino-British Joint Declaration]~~ had ~~already been signed, meaning that Hong Kong would return to China~~, and ~~the Earl~~ decided to take a hands-on approach during this tumultuous time~~. The marriage with Alexander's mother was based on it being a sound financial decision for both of them, rather than out of love, as she had just inherited her family's shipping business~~. In the next few years they conceived ~~both Alexander~~ and his sister there.

Tristan's parents staunchly support each other and the family, which means everything to them. They met in 1891 at the University of Cambridge, and a couple of years later they departed for Hong Kong. The family had significant holdings there, and Tristan's father decided to take a hands-on approach during this tumultuous time. In the next few years they conceived Tristan, Alistair, and his sister there.
