Kersh is impossible to mistake for human: a towering chitin-plated being whose two beaked heads seem to take in the world from different angles. Even at rest, the alien symmetry of the body carries a solemn, formidable presence.

Kersh is a Biliat linguist, a peaceable figure whose imposing form is matched by a capacity for ritual combat. The towering, two-headed alien bears a beak and paired sensory features on each head, with compound eyes on the left. When armed, Kersh wears an openwork crown and an aiming circlet, and carries a long ritual sword in each hand. The available account gives no further details of Kersh’s personal relationships or broader arc.
Description
Kersh is a towering, ceiling-high Biliat with a body enclosed in chitinous plates, supported by two arms and two legs. Two heads rise above the carapace; each has a beak, two ears, and two eyes, while the left head’s eyes are compound and faceted. In combat, an openwork metal crown sits on the right head and an aiming circlet on the left, with two long ritual swords completing the striking silhouette. Kersh’s scale and unusual dual-headed form make the presence imposing, though the text describes the character as peaceable.
