Authority settles around him like a well-worn cloak, his presence filling any room he enters without need for raised voice or grand gesture. There's wisdom in his bearing, the weight of decisions made for many rather than few.

Cristoval, the late king of Suus, appears only as a foundational figure in the first book of The Hierarchy series, yet his legacy reverberates through Vis's journey. His reign, defined by duty and the safeguarding of his people, sets the stage for the political and personal stakes that drive the narrative. Though Cristoval himself is absent after the opening book, his influence persists as Vis grapples with the weight of royal heritage and the expectations of leadership.
Description
A middle-aged man of regal bearing, Cristoval carries himself with the quiet authority of one born to rule. His dark hair shows distinguished grey at the temples, and his features reflect both the strength and burden of kingship.
