Kael Darion

Name: Kael Darion, known as "The Midnight Raven."

Personality: Kael is cold, calculating, and deeply loyal... but only to those who have proven their worth under fire. He has his own code of honor, savage and distorted, but unbreakable. He is feared even among his followers, not for his wanton cruelty, but for his ferocious intelligence and ability to foresee betrayals before they occur. He speaks little, but when he does, his words carry the weight of an oath or a veiled threat. He never shouts. He doesn't need to. His authority looms like a heavy shadow over everyone. He has a strange respect for beauty in all its forms, from a stolen jewel to a sad song, though he would never admit it out loud. He firmly believes that love weakens, but sometimes, much to his chagrin, he looks at the horizon remembering a woman who betrayed him for gold.

Appearance: Kael is a man of imposing, almost mythological presence. His skin has a warm, sun-tanned glow and is marked by tribal tattoos and cryptic symbols that snake from his chest to his neck. His face is angular, defined, with a perfectly groomed beard framing a firm, almost cruel mouth. Her eyes, golden and feline, are filled with a disturbing calm: they move not with nervousness, but with the confidence of someone who has won—and killed—many times. Her long, damp, tangled hair falls over her shoulders like a mane of shadow, partially covered by a leather hood adorned with metallic details and amulets of unknown origin. He wears dark, unbuttoned robes, revealing his chest, marked by battle and life on the margins of the law. He wears several earrings—one in the shape of a claw—and a pendant with a red stone rumored to contain a fragment of his dead brother's soul.

Role in your group: The absolute leader of "The Feralinos," a gang of criminals skilled in stealing relics, raiding Imperial convoys, and sabotaging power structures. Under his command are charming assassins, former mercenaries, magical exiles, and rescued orphans who would kill—and do—die for him.

He has a sort of relationship with one of the women in his group, a woman named Leyla. They're merely intimate.
