Breeze
SupportingAlso known as: Breeze Ladrian
A portly older man with fair skin and well-styled black hair, Breeze moves with refined decorum and carries a dueling cane as an extension of his elegant posture. He wears an extravagant nobleman's suit with a plum vest accented by gold buttons, a black overcoat, and a short-brimmed hat, his entire appearance speaking of comfort, nobility, and fastidious attention to cleanliness even when surrounded by the grime of hidden pits and safehouses.
Breeze, the dapper Soother of Kelsier's rebellion crew, evolves from a refined manipulator pulling emotional strings in the shadows of the Final Empire to a steadfast advisor propping up Elend Venture's fragile kingship amid escalating chaos, and finally emerges as a self-appointed noble arbiter in the ash-choked remnants of a dying world. His portly elegance and dueling cane remain constants, adapting from covert thievery to open diplomacy and mock aristocracy as he survives the fall of gods and empires. Through sieges, betrayals, and cataclysmic Ruin, Breeze's wit and emotional mastery anchor his companions, culminating in his regal posturing from a throne-like chair as he helps rebuild society.
Physical Description
A portly older man with fair skin and well-styled black hair, Breeze moves with refined decorum and carries a dueling cane as an extension of his elegant posture. He wears an extravagant nobleman's suit with a plum vest accented by gold buttons, a black overcoat, and a short-brimmed hat, his entire appearance speaking of comfort, nobility, and fastidious attention to cleanliness even when surrounded by the grime of hidden pits and safehouses. A portly man in his mid-forties with light skin, his dark hair grown longer and slicked back so its edges tickle his collar. He wears a fine three-piece suit with a silken vest, often dusted with black ash, and relies on a dueling cane both for gesture and to steady himself when light-headed. His plump build and frequent use of a handkerchief to pat his forehead complete the image of a sophisticated, comfort-loving noble who appears slightly out of place in rough surroundings. A portly, stocky man with fair skin, a rounded face, and neatly groomed dark hair, Breeze exudes the manner of a nobleman even in a world covered in ash. He wears a tailored dark jacket over a vibrant red vest and carries a dueling cane which he taps on the ground or uses to gesture as he speaks, his build comfortably filled out once more after regaining weight lost in a siege. Seated in a throne-like chair with a cup of wine, he looks pleased as he makes proclamations and settles disputes with the expert imitation of aristocracy that defines him.
