- First seen · Book 4 · Ch. 32
A slender young man with dandy little limbs and an abundance of hair that contributes to his toy-like appearance, Castor has fair skin, a recently broken nose, and real eyes that avoid the carved look of a Corish Pixie. A long, thin scar circles his neck like a necklace among the many other scars covering his shoulders, jaw, and body, all visible when he stands naked after doffing his robe. Others see his slender hands and naked face and believe him weak, yet his delicate frame carries the marks of one who has endured far more than his fragile, dandy exterior suggests.

Description
A slender young man with dandy little limbs and an abundance of hair that contributes to his toy-like appearance, Castor has fair skin, a recently broken nose, and real eyes that avoid the carved look of a Corish Pixie. A long, thin scar circles his neck like a necklace among the many other scars covering his shoulders, jaw, and body, all visible when he stands naked after doffing his robe. Others see his slender hands and naked face and believe him weak, yet his delicate frame carries the marks of one who has endured far more than his fragile, dandy exterior suggests. The text provides no visual details for Castor. His appearance, age, clothing, and demeanor are unspecified. Castor au Bellona appears youthful, with a lean, understated presence and slender hands. His face is uncovered and notably scarless, its smoothness making his guarded, observant expression all the more striking. He wears a dark Ionian kimono with plain cloth slippers, an outfit that reads as restrained and practical rather than ostentatious. His bearing is quiet and watchful, as though he would rather remain unnoticed than command attention. The text does not describe Castor au Janus’s appearance. No details of build, coloring, hair, eyes, clothing, or demeanor are established. A human man of the Raa family, composed and faintly amused in the company of relatives who are comfortable with violence. Give him a restrained, aristocratic bearing and formal attire appropriate to the setting; his individual facial features, coloring, build, and hairstyle are not established by the available text.
