I absolutely love your Rogue Trader and your artwork in general! Thank you so much for blessing my feed (on multiple platforms!)

Could I beg for a crumb of some cool unknown factoids about Nero? Some tea you may have wanted to share but haven't had the chance?

Any small, formative moments from his life before becoming the Rogue Trader? Any guilty pleasures he's had from Before(TM) that he indulges in now? Any new interests that could only come in the wake of having a Rogue Trader's wealth? Or anyone from his past who might have beef with him (or wants to cozy up instead?)

...What's his favorite color?

Aw, thank you so much, Euphony!
Love your art too! 🖤🖤🖤

Some of my favorite facts I always wanted to mention~:

• His tattoos on his left fingers reads “Nero” in chaos runes
• He hates Inquisitors, the only exception is Bronislaw Czevak, whom Nero admires as a role model.
• Nero is ambidextrous.
• When over-stressed rocks himself to and fro, and if he can, hugs himself.

Small formative moments in Nero’s life (besides Shadow of Torment):

• After being separated from his family and finding himself among pirates and smugglers, he quickly learned that sometimes being aggressive, stubborn and forceful doesn’t pay off. Especially as a weak small child.
  Any measure is good if it helps to achieve the goal, to win someone’s favor or simply to survive another day, even if it means being submissive, swallowing the pride and feeling a moment of shame when playing a favorable role. He was a hooligan, aggressive, but a bright voidborn kid to understand that and pretend someone else to win another day. Nero also learnt from his new surroundings that sometimes you are a tool, and sometimes you use the tools.
• He was ashamed of the scars on his face after the tortures in prison, and even after they had stopped bleeding, he continued to hide them under bandages. They reminded him of his failure and the part of his sanity he had lost. His attitude to the scars changed when he realized that they worked to intimidate and admire those who came to know what happened to him. Now he wears his scars with pride, as a mark of his endurance and his strength to overcome anything. The scars made him more assertive. But jokes about them still make his blood boil.

His guilty pleasure is collecting vials of blood for his makeup. Before becoming a Rogue Trader, all blood belonged to his enemies. He and his men wore bloody makeup as a trophy. Now it’s not just that, it’s a sign of affection. Nero wears Kibellah’s or Marazhai’s blood on his face.
Another guilty pleasure, Nero sleeps naked and even when he has insomnia he stays naked…

He got more people who would like to see his head on a plate rather than to cozy him up. They are no longer a threat to him after he became a Rogue Trader, and they all remained in Calixis Sector.
After becoming a Rogue Trader, he realized that he no longer had to fear being sent to the Inquisition for committing any heresy his heart desired. Everything has its limits, but he cannot resist abusing his new noble status by openly collecting xeno artifacts, or seeing what happens to a planet in his protectorate when he orders mandatory blood sports every other day.

His favorite colors are purple and green 🖤

Thank you Euphony for the questions. They made me think deeply for a while🖤
