Name: Aldebaran
Name Meaning:
Vered/Vadhir : Hebrew/Near-/Middle-Eastern :: "rose"
Chandra :: Indian/Hinduism :: Means "moon" in Sanskrit, derived from चन्द (chand) "to shine".
Jericho :: Hebrew/Biblical :: From the name of a city in Israel which is mentioned several times in the Old Testament. The meaning of the city's name is uncertain, but it may be related to the Hebrew word יָרֵחַ (yareach) meaning "moon", or otherwise to the Hebrew word רֵיחַ (reyach) meaning "fragrant".
Aldebaran :: Astronomy, Judeo-Christian Legend :: Derived from Arabic الدبران (al-Dabarān) meaning "follower" (from دبر (dábar) "to turn one's back"). This is the name of the brightest star in the constellation Taurus, presumably so named because it appears to follow the Pleiades rightward across the night sky. Allegedly the apocryphal Book of Enoch describes Aldebaran as a fallen angel, who attempted to seduce an Assyrian queen in the form of a bull.
Elros :: Elvish (Literature) :: Means "glitter of stars" or "foam of stars" from Sindarin êl "star" and ros, which can mean "polished metal, glitter" or "foam, rain, dew, spray (of fall or fountain)". It belonged to the brother of Elrond and first king of Númenor in J. R. R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' (1954).
Jair :: Hebrew/Biblical :: Means "he shines" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this is the name of both a son of Manasseh and one of the ruling judges of the Israelites.
Gender: Male
Temper: Celestial/Luminous/Stellar
Personality: Proud, and a little vain. Self-assured to the point where he can come off as a little haughty; he is intelligent and believes that he knows best, whether that is actually the case or not. Generally happy to learn, but has a narrow range of interests. Can be somewhat overbearing, but means well (he looks out for all interests, not just his own). Has a "type A" personality: he is strict and organized, has difficulty relaxing, is restless if he does not have a goal in mind, is competitive, and can be irritable. He is motivated and driven by stress, anger, and achievements (his sense of pride). He is regal and kingly, and is acutely aware of this even when he does not call attention to it.
He is highly interested in incenses, fragrances, and (as a result) flowers, as well as other materials that can be used in fragrances. He maintains gardens and orchards of his own and has contact with others, particularly members of his bloodline/society in other regions, who aid him in finding the materials he needs. He travels often; during that time, local familiars (usually hummingbirds and bats) or soquili take care of his gardens.
