Lilath

Minor

Her moonface gleams cold under pocked burns, cheeks drawn tight with cruelty that chills the air. Teeth clatter in her braids like grim talismans, missing fingers a stark badge of savagery. She rides lean and merciless, a predator's gaze daring you to look away.

Lilath begins as a vicious, physically scarred lowMoon antagonist in the brutal Institute games of Red Rising, embodying the savage competition among House Pluto. By Golden Son, she has risen as Lilath au Falthe, a sly and treacherous operative aligned with the Jackal, executing a shocking assassination attempt on Lorn au Arcos while disguised as a Pink. In Dark Age, she fully evolves into the Syndicate Queen, a formidable warlord who infiltrates Hyperion as a Red before revealing her armored Gold form, leading a reign of terror marked by grotesque trophies and self-mutilation amid the chaos of Helios. Across the series, Lilath transforms from a minor cutthroat player into a dominant force of unrelenting savagery and Syndicate power.

Physical Description

Moonfaced 16-year-old girl with drawn newly burned pocked cruel cheeks, expression radiating cold malice. Hair braided with teeth that clatter ominously, two fingers missing on one hand with burn-sealed stumps. Lean build poised on a small horse, clad in ragged gear, her presence sharply antagonistic. Lilath au Falthe is a young Gold woman with striking raisin eyes that pierce like dark jewels. Lean and athletic from pack hunts, her golden hair frames a sharp, predatory face with vaguely familiar movements. She carries a scampish energy, often in sleek hunter garb or disguised servant attire hiding weapons. Tall and muscular even for a Red facade, she commands in black bone-embedded Bonerider armor, blood-spattered and imposing, topped with a black iron crown. Gold teeth gleam in her face, her nose damaged and partially self-amputated from necrotic spines, leaving a grim scar. She carries two hatchets with ease, her presence fierce and unbowed.
