Faustus doesn't particularly like masks, and will only employ them for the sake of his parents and the family's reputation. Due to usually acting like his true self, many may scoff at his behaviour, but at least they knew that they didn't have to watch their backs. He doesn't bother involving himself in anything that doesn't interest him, just for the sake of it, and he appears at most social events during the Season only because of his mother's insistance.

He is very much adventurous, blunt, impulsive, mischeivous, and playful. Faustus however also displays characteristics of arrogance, and self-centeredness. Due to his parents staying married though they don't love one another, Faust has never much believed in love. And if he were to ever consider the notion, he could never see it going hand-in-hand with marriage; their society simply wasn't built for it.

Like any young gentleman with considerable weath and parents who believe that he will settle down when he's older, Faust spends his time doing what he enjoys; be it writting letters, reading fiction or poetry, riding, swimming, socializing, going to operas and theatres. He is quite intelligent, but could never see himself becoming a scholar or anything of the sort.

When he sees something he admires or likes, he will go for it, persistently. Faust is quite stubborn, confident, and hard to deter in this aspect of his life. He is fairly open to new ideas, as long as they do not involve the importance of God in life, or anything involving religion in general.

Augusta Alden's first pregnancy was a healthy one. Her figure became curvier, and there was a soft glow to her cheeks. The labour, however, was near disastrous. The young Marchioness suffered for hours before she finally gave birth to the family's heir, Faustus William Alden. After the birth, she became very ill and nearly lost her life. Thankfully the doctors managed to keep her well enough to eventually recover. The Marchioness then spent a lot of her time with her new baby boy, doting on him; never once did she blame him for the labour pains or the illness that followed.

In the next few years, Johnathan and Augusta Alden brought two more healty boys into the world. Their education was a priority, as were their manners, but both parents believed that joy was an important part of childhood, and therefore gave their children freedom in other regards. Faustus and his younger brothers often horsed around, running through the long hallways of their large home.

Things were different once the boys were of eight years and older, and the Marquess and Marchioness took a liking to travel. The boys were left at home with their nanny, a bitter old woman who loved nothing but her Bible and the God whose name she would utter alongside every word if she could. The woman believed that the boys upbringing had to be considerably more strict and took it upon herself to teach them.

Having grown up with the woman in their lives, the boys thought of giving her some slack. However, when she threatened using physical punishment on the youngest brother, they forgot all about that. From then on, the boys banded together in trying to get the woman fired and tossed out of their home. With their parents being away on a longer trip at the time, this took longer than they would have wished.

This period of Fausts' childhood made him feel quite resentful toward anything trying to take control of his life and his actions. The nanny was fired soon after the Marquess and Marchioness returned to England, and the boys' lives settled down for a while.

They entered society one by one, each growing in their own way through the new experiences they were exposed to. All three Alden boys were considered a good catch, and therefore received great amounts of attention from females of varying ages. This fed Faust's ego and confidence considerably, and he learned to be quite the charmer.

When in his mid-teens, and their parents tired of travel, staying more and more in England and London in particular, Faust realized that the Marquess and Marchioness did not love each other; they were friends, but there was no love there. He was dissapointed and he wasn't.quite sure why. Faust then became more focused on enjoying and entertaining himself, having lost the small hope that love mattered or even existed in this world.

Faustus has grown into a well educated young man, with interesting tastes. He is getting closer and closer to a marriable age, but he tries to ignore this. Making the best out of life is his current goal. The boy only bothers with social responsibilities because he loves and respects his parents, his mother in partcular, and would like to have them be as content as possible with their eldest son. He knows that there will come a time when he will have to dissapoint them.
