Cadus Harnassus
SupportingA slump-shouldered man in his fifties with umber skin and an unimpressive height, moving slowly with aching joints. His face features a prominent bulbous drinker's nose and looks like an angry puppy, with thinning hair on his head that he can scarcely spare and a tangled beard. Thick forearms cross over his chest as his orange eyes twinkle with sharp intelligence and private jokes. He wears a dirty uniform decorated with crossed wrenches, appearing exhausted and sweat-soaked like a veteran sea captain who has seen too many battles.
Cadus Harnassus debuts in Dark Age as a battle-worn subordinate commander whose unassuming, slump-shouldered frame and drinker's nose mask a sharp, irreverent intellect. His steady presence proves vital in holding Darrow's fractured forces together amid the chaos of the Rising's later campaigns. Though physically exhausted and marked by years of conflict, Harnassus's twinkling orange eyes and private humor reveal a resilient core that earns quiet respect from his superiors.
