Quellion
SupportingA fair-skinned man with a short-haired bald scalp shining under red sunlight, rough weathered skin, and an almost military bearing. He stands with arms clasped behind his back in a posture of authority, wearing skaa trousers and a work shirt dyed deep red verging on maroon that makes him the only splash of color in his surroundings. A length of bronze metal pierces his upper arm, hidden beneath his clothing until revealed, and his face holds the determined intensity of a revolutionary leader who rules with fear and precision.
Quellion emerges in the chaotic aftermath of the Lord Ruler's fall as a self-proclaimed Citizen of Urteau, a revolutionary leader who enforces a stark skaa purity through brutal inquisitions and fear, marked by his hidden bronze spike hinting at deeper koloss-blooded influences. Ruling with military precision amid the red sun's glow, he transforms the city into a dystopian regime, burning nobles and their sympathizers while protecting his sister Beldre in a twisted familial bond. His reign crumbles under the scrutiny of infiltrators like Elend Venture, exposing his vulnerabilities and culminating in a fiery demise that underscores the perils of unchecked zealotry in the Hero of Ages.
