Bio:
Sebastian comes from a long line of well-to-do WASPs. His family could trace its lineage back to the Middle Ages where they were prominent nobility. The Cromwell name is prominent throughout history and from some perspectives, they were often not the heroes. In fact, his ancestor Cyrus Cromwell was a chief inquisitor in the witch trials and single-handedly oversaw the executions of over 200 accused witches.
Recent generations of Cromwells have focused more on creating a business empire. Sebastian’s father, Andrew Cromwell, was a pretty eminent businessman, recognized as a captain of industry by some and a robber baron by others. The division between the tranquil gated community that he lived in and the small town that surrounded it was stark. Economic downturns have led to a lot of families in the nearby towns losing their jobs working for various Cromwell-owned companies.
Sebastian was not involved in his father’s business ventures, but he benefited from a great deal of privilege. On top of hitting the genetic jackpot, he had every opportunity afforded to him. He was the captain of his high school’s wrestling team and took them to the state championship, had a scholarship lined up for college at an Ivy League university, already had internships with some of the most lucrative companies in the country, and had no shortage of lovely rumors about him in the bedroom from the cheerleading team & popular girls.
It wasn’t necessarily that he wasn’t a good student and worthwhile candidate for some of the opportunities he had — but it was indisputable that his namesake gave him a unique edge that only exacerbated his physical privileges. Sebastian wasn’t necessarily dumb, but he didn’t have a unique intellect. Beyond the superficial and his wrestling prowess, Sebastian wasn’t particularly exceptional. For that reason, it wasn’t uncommon for some people to associate Sebastian with the condescending upper class like his father. Although few people would ever say such presuppositions to his face for fear of his father, it created an environment where Sebastian often felt an uneasiness around him.
In truth, Sebastian and his father did not get along at all. In public, Sebastian wore a facade that everything was okay in his family and his father was the best thing since sliced bread. That couldn’t be further from the truth. His father was an overbearing narcissist who held Sebastian to impossible standards and cared little beyond how his family made him look in public. Narcissistic rage often resulted in physical and mental abuse from his father that Sebastian was forced to compartmentalize and mask to the outside world. Gaslighting was a regular part of Sebastian’s home life, but it was a secret he never told anyone. Although he wasn’t necessarily depressed, Sebastian’s trademark smile was a mask; his aesthetics often felt like nothing more than a costume he was wearing.
