I wonder what they saw in a blind man.. or did he force them to be his lovers. I am going with the second one because that one makes the most sense. But hey weird things happen.. Although i believe he said if they did not become his lover..They would be dammed in hell.. besides being a man everyone hated.. What is his story anyway ?
No sir, I believe Blinded trait is only -10 sex appeal, but on the other hand Aspiring Seducer and Court Tomcat modifier gave him the leverage he needed to seduce almost every women in court, so there is the third option, He is just charming
As for his story, to be honest I dont really know his story as I just recently conquered Greece in Invasion, but after checking the console, apparently he was blinded by previous Basileus for.. well... obvious reason. His lovers as for now is 5 in total, including 3 random courtiers.
But well as stated, being blinded doesn't means its all over for him tho, he even asked my permission for...

Erratic indeed mate.
