Marius au Raa
MinorHis mismatched eyes gleam with a sharp, covetous hunger that makes the air feel thicker. There's an unsettling spider-like grace to his knobby limbs, as if he's always calculating the web around him. You can't help but wonder what fragile thing he'll ensnare next.
Marius au Raa enters the Red Rising Saga in Iron Gold as the physically deformed and socially marginalized son of Romulus au Raa, the Moon Lord of the Rim Dominion. Marked by his misshapen frame and a brutal facial wound that costs him an ear and nearly an eye, Marius embodies the Rim’s stoic endurance and the hidden fractures within the Raa dynasty. Though he begins as a silent, covetous presence at his father’s side, his arc hints at deeper ambitions and the potential to reshape the Rim’s destiny amid the widening war with Darrow’s Solar Republic.

His spider-like frame features knobby joints and spindly appendages that lend him a covetous, predatory air.
