From the Book of deeds of the Kagomine People, Volume 47, page 10:

I, that is Meihomei, the fourty-seventh of the title, being by blood and inheritance of the Kagomei, Veneer and Dandelion clans, do declare this to be true about my father, Amarat Veneer Junior, who-was-Meihomei: He was born to privilege, in the now imperial residence known as Responsible Disclosure, where he was quickly known as a prodigy, earning a partial credit for a patent in his childhood, and contributing signally to International Treaties before his legal majority. He later met my mother, then a commoner, the daughter of a Nessun, at that Nessun's elevation party, and never was the same again, spending several arnds as her Hannabrid, then finally marrying her and causing me and my sisters to be. His impact on the Lai Dang Accords at that time cannot be overstated, and without some of our enemies' obsession with him, many more lives would have been lost. He clashed many times with the leadership of the Coalition, and his Boxes of Honour have yet to be matched. His negotiation of peace as both his wife and then-Meihomei lay dying, calling on his personal relationship with many in power cemented his reputation as a high stakes gambler, and a cool head in a storm. Upon the subsequent death of my grandmother, he became regent to Meihomei, holding the title in trust for whichever of his children would prove suitable to the task. I want to thank him, not just for giving me life, but for having an Empire left to rule. With me is the chief of state of far Nuova Firenze to notarize these to be true.

Prime Minister of Nuova Firenze

"As is tradition, we will remember his naming day, first of all. And how he came to be called."

"Nellun, his long-standing butler, will read us from his mother's journals, about his naming day."

"I still don't know what to name my son, he will not laugh, he will only cry. It is upsetting, he does however, seem to have fully inherited my voice and stamina. He will cry for hours. I had tried a few names, but I tried another combination, with both his grandfather and great-uncle, and adoptive grand-father's names. Randomly peppering other names, gleaned from baby-naming books, I said:
'Amarat Beltran Meltran Flinflon Nomintan Killidarvi the second, be silent, that is enough for now.'

"And he went silent, after one giggle. He had accepted a name! As was tradition, I had to figure out later, what Flinflon, Nomintan and Killidarvi would mean... Flinflon would turn out to be a referencce, being a village in the barony of Sottolanga that I owned at the time, but hadn't known about the village's name. Nomintan would be Loro for friend-maker, and Killidarvi was Olmec for festival."

Religious Views

As a High Kon in the Navy(a high ranking non-commissioned officer), Amarat is in the top 2% of most influential priests in the Elemental Circles religion. As the natural son of one of the Nine, and his mother being one of the 21, he could basically set policy, but he prefers to focus on self-discovery and self-improvement. He feels responsible for some of his father's 'incaratdes' and wants to atone.

Social Aptitude

He is a naive aristocrat, feeling everyone can succeed, if given the chance, blind to how much privilege he was given to get where he is now, but those he trusts try to ground him, and help him away from this "success is easy" facile attitude. As a propaganda officer, he is almost required to tamper his knowledge of reality by his knowledge of what's required of him in his positi9on.

Mannerisms

He is almost always acting embarassed, putting his hand behind his neck, as if apologising for breathing. and blushes a lot.

Hobbies & Pets

He will end up adopting Robyn Frobananasynia and Namei Rudiger, Amalthea Kagome's aging Korat cat and Corgi dog, respectively.

Speech

He goes "Hmm" a lot, and asks Flora "Is that my job?" It's a long standing joke between them, that his job is to keep her happy, and her job is to keep him happy.
