Miksa is something of a savant. His incredible intellect was discovered at an early age, meaning that he was given opportunities that most people would kill for: the finest educations, attention from those in power, all that good stuff. It was hoped that Miksa would be able to bring great glory to his people.
Sadly, by the time he turned 18, it became clear that Miksa was a lost cause. He was too much of a dreamer, spending most of his waking hours lost in his thoughts rather than paying attention to what he was supposed to be doing.
