1. Duke doesn't use the fact he was from a powerful family anymore, but he did use it to be admitted into the knights early.
2. Duke isn't his name, its a nickname from his brigade. "Our duke" came from that being his title (after his parents died), and with people having enough trouble pronouncing his name, he uses it instead.
3. Elucifur wanted him to keep peace for their world/protect all living things, and this is the only reason he didn't do something worse than stealing Dein Nomos after the Empire betrayed them.
4. He's actually 38 (turned 40 in the bubble). He's just one of those people who hits that "And now you don't look any older" grace period.
5. Alexei wasn't quite his friend, back in the knight days, but they got along well enough.
6. Duke probably should be a bit scared of heights, as Elucifur was flying when they were shot down, but with happiness he got with flying with his friend, he feels enough anger at humans for taking it away that he forgets to be uneasy. Flying on his own is a different pot of emotions.
7. He was never good at emotions, but he's gotten worse after Elucifur died.
8. He is very sure he is a rather terrible person.
9. Attraction isn't something he realizes based on physical things. He's really more interested based on how smart/how much he loses time by talking with them.
10. He likes his hair long, despite people getting confused about him. At least, he's pretty sure people get confused about which gender he is because of his hair.
11. He knows both the male and female parts to many of the court dances - he got tired of trying to explain that no, he wasn't a girl.
12. While he does take care of his vision, his sight isn't the best anyway. Colors are washed out and blurred together sometimes. He mostly keeps track of people with his magic.
13. He understands animals, but it isn't some odd sort of telepathy. For some reason, their noises (barks, whines, growls, chirps) make as much - if not more - sense than human languages.
14. Duke doesn't really have many fears, but the one that is biggest is that he won't be able to protect those he cares about. And what he might do if he felt that sort of loss again.
15. He would have been very fine with erasing humanity from his world, even if it meant he would die. He's human too, after all, and despite how he tries, he might cause problems for the planet eventually.
