History
He was born the eldest of three children to Stéphane Narcisse I in 1522. He has a sister (1524) and a brother (1525).

His father married him off to Madeline Delacroix in 1537 t age 15. The young couple was pressured for an heir relentlessly. Four months after their wedding, Madeline miscarried for the first time. Her second pregnancy was in 1538 and at age 16 she gave birth to a stillborn son. In the winter of that same year she miscarried a second time. A fourth pregnancy ended in a miscarriage two years after. After having sex too soon after the miscarriage (pressured by Lord Narcisse) Madeline died and Stéphane became a widower at age 18.

Barely a year after the funeral, Stephane was married off again to Madeline's second cousin, Giselle of Orleans. They were of the same age and had a romantic fling during marriage and had two children in three years marriage: Lord Narcisse was very disappointed at the gender of his first grandchild Leonore but reconciled with Giselle when Edward was born, only Giselle died four months after of hemophilia, which she had suffered from since birth and Leonore inherited. Even before her death, she was often found in pools of her own blood, unconsious.
 * 1) Leonore Narcisse (1541)
 * 2) Edward Narcisse (1543-1567)

Now 21, Stephane was twice widowed and looked for a new wife since he feared Edward had inherited hemophilia and needed healthy heirs. His choice fell on Sophie Beauxfontaine, who used to ride horse with his second wife. The two married in 1544 and had issue:

3. Luc Narcisse (1546), who married Princess Claude Valois.

4. Gabriel Narcisse (1548)

5. Maxime Narcisse (1551)

Sophie died at the birth of their daughter Maxime. Now 29, Narcisse vowed to never marry again and was scarred by the death of his brother a year later of syphilis. That year, Narcisse also lost his father and it was rumoured his father and brother got syphilis from the same prostitute.

In 1567, he married 20 year old Estelle Fourlet for a parcel of land but within two weeks marriage, she commited suicide. A year later he married the only wife he truely loved ("except perhaps dear Giselle, though I was too young to truely be alive.") Lola Fleming. Within a year she was executed by orders of Queen Elizabeth I because she had supported a would-be assasin.
