Jekel
MinorThere is something profoundly wrong about the way Jekel's wrinkled face settles into a smile. His Privileged gloves seem almost too heavy for his aged hands. When he looks at you, you feel as though you've already been weighed, measured, and found wanting.
Jekel appears only in Promise of Blood as a master of deception within the Powder Mage universe. He first infiltrates events disguised as the youthful monk Del, using the persona to move undetected among allies and enemies alike. His true identity as an elderly Privileged sorcerer is dramatically revealed during a climactic confrontation, exposing the deep corruption and theatrical flair of the old magical order. Ultimately, Jekel meets a theatrical demise when he is thrown from a balcony, his brief but memorable role underscoring the dangers of hidden powers in a world shifting away from sorcery.
Physical Description
An older man with a heavily wrinkled face that speaks of decades of arcane practice. His eyes hold a calculating intelligence beneath drooping lids. He wears the distinctive Privileged gloves that mark his sorcerous rank. Though his build appears somewhat frail with age, his presence commands attention and unease in equal measure.
