Pliny au Augeus
SupportingPliny au Augeus appears as a beautiful, slender Gold with smooth skin as flawless as a Pink's and a thin but pleasingly muscular build that suggests grace over brute strength. His coiled and scented hair is bound in a tight complicated braid behind him. Large glittering golden eyes peer out from beneath extravagant peacock-like eyelashes that dominate his face along with a pointed hawkish nose and thin lips coated in muted or serious black lipstick that often form a reptilian smile. He wears a too-tight embroidered silk tunic or severe dark coat accented by a dragonfly pin, presenting an elegant, almost feline noble whose delicate kittenish appearance belies the ruthless political predator within.
Pliny au Augeus debuts in Golden Son as a strikingly delicate yet predatory Gold politico whose flawless, almost feline appearance and reptilian smile conceal a calculating mind devoted to power plays within House Augustus. Serving as a scheming advisor, he orchestrates betrayals that target both his patron Nero au Augustus and the rising figure of Darrow au Andromedus, positioning himself as a subtle but lethal antagonist in the Martian political arena. Though limited to this single appearance across the provided saga details, Pliny embodies the treacherous elegance of Gold nobility, his elegant braid and dragonfly pin becoming symbols of the refined cruelty that defines the series' early power struggles.
