Damian Desmond is the second son of Donovan Desmond and a student at Eden Academy in Cecile Hall, Group 3. As the kid of one of the country's most powerful men, he inherited automatic status among his peers—and it went straight to his head. He's arrogant, assumes people are falling for him (he genuinely thought Anya had a crush on him just because she looked at him), and insists on being called "Lord Damian" in conversation.
His attitude likely stems from serious family pressure. His older brother made it as an Imperial Scholar, and their father has made it clear Damian needs to do the same. With his father mostly absent and attention-starved, Damian's become obsessed with meeting these expectations. Anyone who doesn't directly help him climb the Imperial Scholar ranks? They're just dead weight in his eyes. He's internalized the idea that people below his social class only slow him down, and he treats them accordingly. It's less straightforward snobbery and more a kid desperate for his father's approval by any means necessary.
