Biography

Esteban always had an interest in the military field. He applied in the best military academy in his country, studied and trained hard, and graduated with top grades and good performance. After providing some service and volunteering to help the affected during and after calamities, Esteban (31 years old that time) decided to apply to Milizia hoping the time he may spend there could further improve his skills and add on what he already knows about protecting one's nation. He was also looking forward to the very idea of teaching students and it made him excited. When Esteban found out he was accepted, he immediately prepared for his departure to Switzerland where Academy Milizia is located. Despite having to deal with active, heavy life-threatening work and other issues on the side, Esteban's few years in the academy was peaceful. After retiring from Milizia, he flew back home where he continued to serve in the military until his honorable dismissal. He continues to live a peaceful life with his loving wife Kallisto and their two children Nathaniel and Ivanna.

Esteban was still serving the army when his children were very young. So as not to imply neglect or make his kids feel lonely, Esteban kept his promise of being in touch with them at least two times a week either through email or video call. For fun, he pretends that his eldest child Nathaniel is a boss Esteban needs to report to. Esteban finally had more time with and for his family after receiving his honorable dismissal and he makes up for the lost time with his children by hanging out with them a lot, and although he isn't a perfect father and still has his faults, he maintained his strong bond with his children.

Present day, he's more than proud to see that his children grew up well. While Ivanna can handle things on her own, Nathaniel gets a lot of (and oftentimes too much) attention and pressure from being a famous celebrity and due to his personality, whatever Nathaniel faces at work overwhelms him a lot. So Esteban does his best to be his son's emotional support. There was a time Esteban accompanied Nathaniel at work when Nathaniel's colleagues saw his dad and jokingly wanted Esteban to model with his son. Esteban, seeing it seemed like a fun and new experience agreed and had his first photoshoot with Nathaniel. Sometimes Esteban still gets invitations to model for certain products, an auto-YES from him if he gets to be with his son.

Academy Milizia days

Esteban was assigned to be the Commander of the Combat division of the Academy. He appeared to be friendly and tends to joke a lot, but those who actually got under him know Esteban for his notorious way of training his students. For example, would ask his students to take about a hundred laps around the track while carrying two buckets filled with water as warm-up without spilling a single drop. Another is that he would punish students by letting them kneel on small, hard seeds while their arms are raised and carrying buckets of water or books on each side! When Esteban's not busy being a disciplinarian he would be seen taking rounds around the Academy, socializing with the other commanders or hanging out with his best friend, the academy's headmaster, Monark Pride. Sometimes Esteban invites other students to join him in karaoke or to play in the snow.

In the beginning, Esteban had Officers Leon Lau and Mercredi De Roux working under him. Esteban developed a very close bond with them and almost treated them like his own children, and that was why it was very difficult for Esteban to let them go when they had to be reassigned elsewhere. They still kept in touch through email and letters. After his first two officers left, he selected two deserving students in his Division to take their place: Jaehyun Barrett and Dulce D. Leche. The new officers are a teeny bit more laid back than his previous ones, but he loved them the same. He occasionally tells Jaehyun to take some time to relax and lessen the stiffness, and advices Dulce to keep his temper to a minimum.

Of course, life wouldn't be complete without some romance. It was all about work until Esteban found himself slowly falling in love with the Air Force division's commander, Kallisto Zervos. He tried courting her when he found the opportunity to do so, while making sure that it doesn't obstruct his or Kallisto's duties. Thinking he wouldn't have the chance due to the age gap between them, Esteban was very surprised but moreso happy when he found out that the attraction was mutual. Since then he and Kallisto would spend time together when their schedules were free. Sometimes talks weren't enough so they go on dates with the use of their (rented) vehicles: Esteban driving to nearby fields with beautiful scenery with her in the passenger's seat, and/or Kallisto taking control of the sky in her plane with Esteban behind her as passenger. The two kept their relationship a secret at first but news spread fast and eventually almost everyone in the Academy found out about them. If anything, Esteban was happy to hear that everyone was accepting and supportive about their relationship.

When Esteban was thinking of retiring from Milizia, he asked Kallisto if she would like to come home with him, almost like it was a proposal. We don't know if Kallisto went with Esteban first as planned, or it ended up with Esteban visiting Kallisto's folks first but either way the two became inseperable since, and after a few years they finally exchanged vows.

Notes

• During Milizia, Esteban is one of those characters where we, as the viewer, cannot view his eyes. Somehow there is always something that obstructs his eyes when we try to look at them. However, the characters Esteban interacts with can see his eyes perfectly.
• Esteban owns a few, small businesses. With the money he earns from these businesses and from his part-time modeling, he spends them on his hobbies and other joys in life. He may be old but he wouldn't want to just sit idly and watch the days go by!
• His love for Kallisto couldn't get any stronger. He still treats his wife as if he's still courting her, taking her out on dates and going to places they can spend time together.
