The scene opens on Valerio Ruiz, a rugged Spaniard with untamed curls and a pale scar slicing through his left brow. He halts before a brothel that gleams with an almost shocking cleanliness, its stone floors reflecting the low light. This is no rotting wooden shed; it speaks of order and upkeep. A sarcastic twist lifts the corner of his mouth as he methodically scrubs the mud from his boots on the coarse entrance mat—an uncharacteristic gesture of respect—before he steps inside, the wary instincts of a lifelong sellsword sharpening his gaze.
