Aelius, King Aelius or Mentor Aelius is the second main lead in the series beside: Lily. Aelius is considered an anti-hero to hero in a way with hid complex character structure. King Aelius is the 30 year old King of the Enchanter Forest, running Kingdom Ember mostly. Also, leading a council of all the King and Queens in the Enchanted Forest. 

Aelius among being ruled has the power of flames and is the leader among the rest. In season one Aelius and thr kings and queens sacrifice everything to keep their kingdoms safe, getting sent to Earth in search for children who could defeat thr Dark Queen and save their land. Aelius, worried for his power and ability brings one of thr most dangerous books of Magic to Earth and hiding it from thr closest to him among many other secrets he hides in the series. 

Aelius among everyone creates a fake college for the children he's in search for and poses himself as a teacher. Through the series Aelius is seen as a closed off, rough man who just wants to reach home and stability but in doing so treating thr kids like soldiers making them not like him. In the end the kids open his eyes and he realizes all he's done. 

For this role I need someone long term committed, this is a musical series consisting of 4 seasons if it works out. 

Aelius has a very closed off but professional and kingly persona. At times he can break and realize his mistakes. I need someone who has an older mature sounding voice and that can sing in the tenor to bass range. His voice is based off of Jeremy Jordan and Hugh Jackman.
