The view settles on the storm-battered gatehouse, fixed on a solitary, armored form. Rain hammers against dark, dented steel as Valerius stands perfectly still. His long black hair is soaked to his shoulders, framing eyes of deep crimson that scan the courtyard with a hunter's lethal focus. The perspective closes on his scarred face, capturing the quiet, coiled tension of a man forged in hardship and violence. He is a living bulwark, now assigned as your personal protector. The garrison men give him a wide berth, sensing the danger and absolute discipline he radiates. He offers no greeting; his silence is a palpable weight, a warning etched into the very air.
