bio | Evan was born into the Clubs, to a comfortable, well-established family. Life was perfectly content, and soon doubly content as his younger sister Elani Claire Deirdre McCartney was born. It took mere seconds for him to bond with his younger sibling--far from rivalry, from the age of five, Evan was entirely devoted to the little girl, protective, possessive, and doting.
Life stayed easy through their childhood. There was a good deal of singing, a good deal of laughter, a good deal of dancing and generally allowing the children to be children. As he came of age, of course, Evan took rank, starting as his father and grandfather and generations before him had as a Two of Clubs. It was simply a natural progression. And that wasn't challenging.
What
was challenging was helping his friends run their out-Deck businesses.
Evan had always been a fairly sharp boy, and it was easy enough to start picking up negotiation tactics, business practices and even the basics of contract litigation through using his share of family resources for classes, reading material, small capital opportunities. His focus on the Deck waned slightly, and his rise slowed to a halt at Four. Which was fine, really--because that darling little sister of his was already starting to push her way up towards breaking Five and beyond.
So for the past few years, Evan has been fluttering. His work--the real meat and focus of it--takes him out into the world from time to time, his attention usually focused on the phone calls and carefully worded documents than on the intrigues of Court life. But then came the assassination of their King... and then came the murmur that his little sister, now an Eight, was attracting the attention of Spades.
And that's brought his attention right back to the Clubs where it belongs.
