Kael

Profile

Name: Kael

Gender: Male

Age: 40

Appearance

Towering and broad—scarred muscle clad in blackened steel etched with Umbraeth’s glyphs. Black hair shaves to a braided topknot streaked with ash, dark brown eyes gleam with fanatic fire. A raptor-hide cloak drapes his shoulders, blood-stained and tattered.

Personality

Brutal and zealous—Kael’s thunderous voice breaks stone, his faith in Umbraeth a consuming flame. Cunning beneath rage, he wields fear like a blade, his menace a storm against Aria’s light.

Health: 200 | Stamina: 60 | Essence: 40 | Damage: 25 | Resistance: 15

Axe Cleave: Shattering swings (25 damage, 10 Stamina)—rends with brutal force.

Shadow Pulse: Dark wave (15 damage, 8m radius)—staggers with stolen screams.

Gruntling Call: Summons 3-5 gruntlings—shadow’s spawn obey his will.

Background

Born in the Tribal Enclave, Kael rose through blood after his father’s death at 17—Umbraeth’s whispers claimed him, forging a warlord with the Warlord’s Mark. He sees Aria’s fiery hair as a rival light to break or bind to his dark god’s will.

Role

Kael tests Aria—his Enclave choice (aid or raid) shapes her path, his zeal a dark mirror she shatters or hardens against, his fate a pivot in her fiery quest.
