Meursault
SupportingThere's something dangerous in his thin, capable frame—the kind of lethality that moves with quiet efficiency. His dark skin and sunken features suggest someone who has seen violence and survived it.
Meursault enters the narrative as a capable, violence-hardened operative whose Highland accent and lean frame mark him as an outsider in the foggy streets of Tingen. Across the volumes he transitions from living ambassador to a lifeless vessel whose Beyonder characteristics condense around the fatal throat wound, leaving his eyes open in mute accusation. His arc embodies the series’ recurring theme that even the most resilient bodies ultimately become conduits for the very powers they once wielded.
Physical Description

Holds crimson liquid bottle in one scene, sharp dagger in death grip in another. Wide-open eyes show murderous gaze, lower body showing signs of post-death incontinence with foul odor. Strong Highland accent when speaking Loen.
