Background
Udo is the eldest son of Tepet Marek Dato, an Air Aspected Dragon-Lord, and Cynis Calliope, a mortal who helps operate The Garden of Crimson Pleasures in the Imperial City. Udo has a younger sister, Cynis Thalia, who is 15 and has not exalted, as a result she was not sent to secondary school and has taken up apprenticeship in her mothers business. Both children are the result of their father's second marriage, after the death of his first wife, and the stories say that the two met while Dato was grieving his wife and Calliope eased his pain and loneliness. Calliope is almost 200 years her husbands junior and had both Udo and Thalia in her early 20's, shortly after the birth of Thalia, Dato grew tired of his mortal companion and returned to his post with the Tepet legions in the northern areas of the threshold. Dato returned rarely from the distant north, even after his son exalted and was adopted into House Tepet, he was expected to retire with a few years when the Tepet legions met their end in combat with The Bull of the North, Tepet Marek Dato was among those who never returned from the frozen tundra.
Udo was born before his mother and father wed, House Tepet at least was still unaware of the relationship as Dato internally debated the seriousness of his fling with the mortal woman. Once Udo was born he decided to marry her, and a small and informal ceremony was held for the marriage, at least in comparison to the typical dynastic wedding between two of the Great Houses. This period was the only time in Udo's life that Dato lived on the Blessed Isle, not long after the wedding Calliope was again pregnant with Udo's younger sister Thalia. The small family lived within the Imperial City at a private residence that his father's centuries of military service had paid for. Because Dato and Calliope's marriage was not a formal affair, and the houses did not have a hand in arranging it or supporting the children, Udo was born into his mother's house and was known as Cynis Udo before his exaltation. Within a few months of Thalia's birth Dato returned to the legions of the north, he returned very seldom to the Blessed Isle and left the raising of his children to Calliope and the servants of House Cynis.
Udo was a quiet child growing up and often intensely private among the other children, especially as a young boy this often made him stand out to the more open Cynis children who he lived with. Early on it was not something his mother worried greatly over, his father was often very aloof and it seemed like a similar enough quality. As Udo started to attend primary school it became a further concern, at the Imperial Capitol the children tended to stick together with the other children of their house, a system that worked well. However, Udo didn't really fit in with the other Cynis children, and therefore found himself without very many friends. A fact that typically bothered him very little, but started to concern members of his family.

Personality
Tepet Marek Udo has never fit in particularly well among his brothers and sisters of House Tepet, nor did he inspire a great deal of affection while he lived among members of House Cynis before his exaltation. In his childhood members of House Cynis who were familiar with him referred to him as an oddly private child, though he rarely inspired much conflict nor found himself tied up in it, he never showed much interest in the activities that children of the house were supposed to occupy their time with. His mother worried that he was too withdrawn and would struggle to fit in among the other dynastic children at school. It was likely a legitimate concern, however his easy going personality made him a small number of loyal enough friends and his mother's concerns were soon diminished.
After his exaltation and adoption into House Tepet proper he found it even harder to fit in, though he never showed concern about trivial matters such as conformance. Or so he assured his mother. Peers and mentors within the house described Udo as whimsical, in a tone that could only be implied as criticism, a trait they blamed on thin blood, an insult to the impure aspect of his exaltation. In reality Udo always fell too far between the House of his birth, Cynis, and the House he exalted into, Tepet, to be accepted by either.
Perhaps as a result of this he's never shown birth rights the proper amount of respect, at least when Imperial etiquette is concerned, and has instead always judged others by the intent of their actions and strength of their character. His demeanor is typically that of a quiet observer who shows a surprising amount of wisdom and resolve when he chooses to speak up; he follows his own code of honor along with the Immaculate Faith which guide his actions far more than social or political maneuvering.
