Alright, I've bashed out a character. Let me know if I'm missing/messing up anything. Note that I haven't finished equipment, as I don't know if we're going to be socialites or bloody adventurers, and I don't know if you've got any preexisting game world in mind, home-brewn or not, so any reference to countries or cities in my background are XXXXed out. So without further ado:

Money: 583 gp
Age: 22
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 145lb
Eyes: Green
Hair: Blonde
Appearance: Dulanse typically dresses in fine clothing befitting his family's wealth and prestige, favoring black and often wearing either a crimson sash or cape. He takes pains to keep up his appearance, keeping his hair trimmed and his face clean-shaven.
Background:
The Geriardors are a prominent merchant family that make their home in Calcurt, the capital city of Calislan. Though technically of common station, their wealth has enabled to grease many palms, and they are poised to use their influence to marry into the aristocracy.
Dulanse is the fourth son of Arlan, the head of the family. Certain that he would receive a pittance of an inheritance when the time came, and not particularly interested in the family business, Dulanse decided to act on his own initiative and politick his way into a noble family's heart. He found his mark (and, he would later claim, his love) in a young lady named Ariadne, the daughter of a local baron. Unfortunately for Dulanse, he found himself in competition for her affections as the young Lord Delryn, a cousin of the prince, had become quite smitten with her.
Dulanse arranged to meet Ariadne in secret one night, to discover that with her father's blessing, she had been betrothed to Delryn. Enraged by her news, Dulanse plunged a dagger in her heart and buried her.
Though his crime has not been discovered and he has not been suspected in Ariadne's disappearance, Dulanse has since arranged to visit his uncle near the border of Calislan under the pretense of helping manage the family operations there. It is here that he is keeping a low profile and plotting his revenge against Delryn, whom he blames for the loss of Ariadne.
Personality:
On the surface, Dulanse tends to be full of wit and charm, for he is able to handle nearly any social situation with grace. Underneath, however, he is a hateful, spoiled bastard with a furious temper that erupts whenever he doesn't get his way. He often lacks patience due to his pampered upbringing, but he is still quite capable of plotting and scheming to achieve his ends. Though he is a skilled warrior, he usually prefers to stay away from such messiness, relying on others to do the dirty work for him.
Other Notes:
I'm imagining that though the Geriardor family has no small amount of prestige, they are involved in all manner of nasty business to make their real money. Smaller merchant houses owned by the family conduct shady business importing and exporting questionable wares (i.e. fencing stolen goods from guilds outside the country) or exotic "spices". Another front takes advantage of Calislan law that forbids slave trade but permits ownership of slaves bought outside the borders; it operates in a neighboring country while rubbing elbows with Calislan's wealthy, who can afford the exorbitant prices.
Being close to the border, Dulanse is probably currently involved with the slave trade, whether it be negotiating with the customers or dealing with slavers (some of the other PCs, possibly?). Eventually, he plans to return to Calcurt, pin Ariadne's murder on Delryn, and pick up where he left off.
