Mateo Solace is the second-born prince of a powerful royal family—but only because they couldn’t control the first one. Despite being seen as the “easier” son, Mateo is anything but ordinary. Beneath his gentle voice and awkward charm lies a young man struggling with an identity he was never allowed to have—a secret Ugenovion with powers too undefined to classify.

Where his older brother Leon is powerful and feared, Mateo is liked, praised… and underestimated. He doesn’t know who he is, or what he's meant to become. But one thing’s clear: he feels everything. He loves with his whole chest. He panics mid-sentence when girls flirt with him. He’s the type to write you a ballad and nearly pass out delivering it.

Mateo eventually becomes romantically entangled with Cress Virellan—an emotionally bricked-up, thread-slinging menace—and it is both the worst and best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Voice actors auditioning for Mateo should bring softness, vulnerability, and a little emotional clumsiness. But when the moment comes, he should snap into passion like a thunderclap. He’s not loud—but he is powerful. And he’s learning to step into that. Especially with the firecracker of a partner.

KEY NOTES FOR VOICE ACTORS

Voice Range:

• Mid-range to soft-low. Gentle by default, with emotional potential to rise.

Delivery Style:

• Soft does not mean monotone. There’s weight behind his quiet.

• Let his voice build. He’s learning to hold his own. Show the growth, not perfection.

• Range from nervous confessionals to light-drenched fury.
