The flickering torchlight dances over the cold stone floor, casting long shadows that converge on a figure held fast between two guards. Silas Reed—known on the streets as 'The Wraith'—stands with his wrists bound, but he does not kneel. His grey eyes find yours and hold them, bright with unrepentant defiance. Despite the bulk of his frame, there's a coiled, predatory readiness in his posture.

Beneath the amusement, a thread of raw irritation is barely contained.
