Druffel
SupportingAsh has claimed his face like a second skin, black and unrelenting, paired with the restless itch of neglect. His stocky form leans wearily, eyes darting with the frayed edge of survival. There's a raw, unpolished humanity that clings to him amid the grit.
Druffel emerges in the chaotic final throes of the Mistborn era as Fatren's steadfast brother, embodying the gritty resilience of Scadrial's common folk amid apocalyptic koloss invasions. Stationed at the bulwarks of Vetitan, his ash-smeared face and unkempt appearance symbolize the desperate northern defense against Ruin's monstrous hordes. Though his role is brief, Druffel stands as a poignant emblem of ordinary heroism in The Hero of Ages, with no further evolution in subsequent books.

Disheveled clothing hangs loosely on his frame, marked by poor hygiene and the toll of endless fallout. He leans with a posture of habitual exhaustion, presence raw and enduring.
