The illustrious heir of the Bhattacharya family, fated to take the seat of a councilman when the current head of the family leaves his position - presenting Narayan Bhattacharya, the son of Ranajit Bhattacharya. In appearance, he takes after his late mother, but in his reputation and political prowess, Narayan is his father's son. Despite being only 28, he already has a very notable and successful political career. Intelligent, polite, charming - many liken him to a fairy tale prince and as one of the most eligible bachelors in the entire Coalition, it's hard to say that the comparison isn't warranted.

However, Narayan also takes after his father in other ways. Much like Ranajit's jolly, grandfatherly disposition hides a ruthless schemer, Narayan's princely image hides ambition that burns hotter than the sun. Narayan is one of the greatest benefitors of nepotism the Coalition has ever seen and he hates it. Narayan wants to win but victory rarely feels satisfying when it's simply handed to you by birthright. More than anything, he wants to surpass his father and prove his superiority over the old bull. His desires meet an unexpected complication when Ranajit and Jabulani come up with a plan that heavily involves him...

 Talidrawing returns for another illustration of a HRC-verse character, this time with Ranajit's son! I really am amazed by how wonderfully Tali has done every single one of these hunks so far. Narayan himself will likely make his debut in the very next story, so I hope folks will enjoy him when he shows up.
