Julian au Bellona
MinorHis smile lights up like sunlight on water, open and pretty, drawing you in with an easy warmth unusual among Golds. Slender and tall, he carries himself with a fragile pride, like hay bending in the wind. There's a boyish prettiness to him that feels disarmingly genuine amid the posturing.

Julian au Bellona is a young man with tousled curly hair framing soft, kind features. His build is gentle, lacking the hardness of his kin, with an air of quiet warmth. Dressed in fine Gold attire, he carries an innocent presence that stands out sharply.

His death carves a cavity in Darrow's heart, marking the Reaper's first taste of the violence needed to rise, and becomes a lingering grudge fueling Cassius's hatred.
