Julius Vangilder

""

Julius Hamilton Vangilder, also known as Julius Sullivan, and the Son of Summer, is the youngest son of Maximillian Vangilder and Emma Vangilder, and a Remnant of Augustine Vangilder. Formerly an Emissary of Aestas, and also a former Prince of Vangilder Kingdom, Julius is a 14 year old boy at the start of the first book who is teleported to Auriga through his bookshelf. Through the course of the series he becomes more mature, regains his memories and learns more about his homeworld and the truth about where he's actually from.

Although he appears young due to The Vangilders Paradox, he is actually over 330 years old in Aurigan years. He is half Nessian, having the physical traits of a Nessian such as blue eyes and a sharp jawline. Although he isn't a pure Nessian, Hall described him as being "A true Nessian in spirit." due to his wit, wisdom, vast knowledge, and ability to pick up new ideas quickly.

He becomes the Emissary of Aestas in Book Three, but eventually stops when his brand disappears after Sylas Langley kills Aestas.

Appearance
Julius has blue eyes and blonde hair, which are traits that are reminiscent of the Nessian race. His hair is parted and brushed to the left side of his forehead, and he wears blue rectangular glasses whenever he has to read. However, when he learns Eyesight Repairing Magic from Caspian in Book One, he gets rid of them. By the last book, The Destruction of Umbriel, he is slightly toned due to the amount of training he has been through with Augustus, and he has broader shoulders, a mature looking face and a "more noticeable lack of naivete," as explained by Astoria.

He is a boy of above average height for his age, growing from 5'9 in Book One to 5'11 in The Fall of Gods and Gales. His voice is described as "The sound of the blue sea during a steadfast summer: calming." by Rubeus, and he has a brand on his right hand in the shape of an orange sun due to being claimed by Aestas.

Personality
Julius starts off in Book One as a quiet, soft-spoken, and polite boy who is being taken care of by his foster family, The Flanagans. In truth he exhibits these behaviors because he feels as if he is being "repressed by the world." He is actually very imaginative, sensitive, but very brave as shown to be when he threatened Caligulus Visconti in the midst of his own execution. Julius is also shown to be very knowledgeable and a brilliant, quick learner when he could decipher the entirety of the Umbriel Memorandum using The Nessus Code.

His wisdom really shines through when he gives advice to his friends, usually seeing things from outside of the box. As time goes on, he gets progressively more mature and brave, ready to fight whenever it needs to be done. He has an intense dislike of people who are disrespectful to him and to others, and in turn he is very quick witted and ready to dish out insults and comebacks when the time arises. Along with being very indignant, he is very helpful and kind to others. It is shown that he can still be quiet and antisocial at times, when he preferred to stay inside and draw rather than take a walk with Emmalaine to feed animals.

Early Life
Julius was born to Maximillian and Emma Vangilder, Maximillian's second wife.
