Orestes grew up in Venceia's opulent Imperial District, where he was subjected to high societal expectations and a rigorous educational regimen. These influences aimed to groom him for his anticipated roles within Caphirian society. Despite the pressure, Panther proved to be a prodigious child, displaying a combination of intellectual aptitude and leadership qualities that set him apart from his peers. At the age of six, Panther was enrolled at the prestigious [[Centalvasi Academy]], an institution renowned for educating Caphiria's intellectual and political elite. Here, he flourished academically and socially, embodying the Academy's values of excellence, leadership, and service. At the academy, he excelled in a diverse range of academic subjects, showing a keen interest in history, military strategy, and politics. He also demonstrated a prowess in athletics, particularly in the traditional Caphirian sport of Harpastum where he demonstrated a knack for strategy and teamwork that further cemented his popularity among his peers. | |||
However, this period of Orestes' life was not without controversy. At the age of twelve, he was diagnosed with a mild form of bipolar disorder. The diagnosis was initially kept private by his parents, who feared the stigma it might bring to their family and the impact it could have on not only his future, but the reputation of the family. The diagnosis was inadvertently revealed by a parent of a rival student from the [[Macerianus Estate]], one of the few other families within Caphiria to rival the Panthers in influence. This revelation led to a brief period of public controversy and scrutiny over the Panthers' intent to hide the diagnosis. Nonetheless, the incident proved to be a defining moment for Orestes, who demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity. The experience also shaped his later advocacy for mental health awareness and the removal of its societal stigma. Despite the controversy, Orestes graduated from the Centalvasi Academy with multiple accolades, including the prestigious Aevum Award, given to a student who best exemplifies the academy's ethos of service, leadership, and academic excellence. Even with these achievements, Panther displayed an admirable sense of humility. His belief, often expressed as "''privilegium habere cum onere''" ("privilege comes with responsibility" ) reflected his deep-seated commitment to serve. Post-graduation, Orestes enrolled in the Imperial Legion as is customary with the Caphirian aristocracy. | |||
