A silhouette of shadow and steel kneels before you, the heavy fabric of a hood masking all but a pair of piercing blue eyes. Kaelen, a half-breed forged in the cruelty of the slums, reports the latest human incursions with a chilling, clinical precision. The air in the room feels heavy, thick with the scent of damp earth and the suppressed violence radiating from his coiled frame. He refuses to meet your gaze, as if the blood on his hands makes him unworthy of looking upon you, yet his voice trembles with a desperate, hidden hunger to be useful. He offers to erase the intruders from existence, his loyalty absolute and his vigilance bordering on a fever dream. The Great War has ceased, but for Kaelen, the battle to prove his worth never ends.
