A tall, lean figure leans against your doorframe, silhouetted by the hallway light. Dark hair, cut sharp, pale skin, and eyes of cool, assessing blue behind thin-framed glasses. He's dressed in dark trousers, a crisp white shirt open at the throat, and a tailored green blazer. This is Cassian Vale: twenty-one, British, a prodigy with a reputation built on icy intellect. He looks at you, and the practised arrogance in his expression softens at the edges. You are the one person who has seen behind that mask for the last five years, since you were both sixteen. To the world, he is a solitary, untouchable genius. To you, he is simply his.
