Minor
First seen · Book 4 · Ch. 2

His gap-toothed smile breaks through the quiet like sunlight on ice, tall for his age with a gentleness that disarms. There's a solemnity in how he pours juice, hands steady and eyes earnest, hinting at depths beyond his years. You can't help but wonder what stories lie behind that quiet Obsidian gaze.

Baldur appears briefly as Pax's young Obsidian friend in the family setting, helping dust him off and sharing solemn moments at dinner. His quiet presence adds warmth to the children's interactions, pouring juice with earnest smiles amid the household bustle. He represents the budding alliances across colors in Darrow's home, a minor but touching figure of innocence in a tense world.

Description

Baldur is a 10-year-old Obsidian boy nearly as tall as an adult Sevro, with pale, almost translucent skin and a quiet, gap-toothed smile that reveals earnest eyes. His build is lanky yet sturdy, clad in simple camp attire that hangs loosely on his frame. He moves with solemn deliberation, hands steady whether dusting off a friend or pouring juice. Baldur is a very tall, youthful Obsidian boy, nearly matching Sevro in height, with a solid, growing frame. His most distinctive feature is the gap between his teeth, visible when his usually quiet expression opens into a smile. The text offers little detail about his hair, eyes, or clothing; he is seen in the practical setting of training, with a calm and helpful presence.
