Publius cu Caraval
MinorHis narrow face holds a pleasant mask over cold eyes that miss nothing, copper hair parted with military precision. Small of stature yet he commands the marble steps like they were built for him. There's an incorruptible chill in his presence, promising order amid chaos.
Publius cu Caraval, the Incorruptible, debuts in Iron Gold as a diminutive, impeccably groomed senator whose cold eyes and poised demeanor allow him to weather the Republic's fractious Senate sessions with bureaucratic detachment. Across Dark Age his mask slips during the violent collapse of order, transforming the once-unremarkable figure into a bloodied zealot whose gleaming eyes and curled lips betray raw Gold fanaticism after Dancer's savage intervention. This arc recasts him from a minor symbol of institutional stability into an emblem of lethal reactionary loyalty, underscoring the Republic's inability to contain entrenched Society prejudices.
Physical Description
Middle-aged man, small of stature, with a narrow pleasant face dominated by a large nose and piercing cold eyes. Short copper hair is parted precisely on the side, not a strand out of place. He wears a drab suit or toga, exuding composed authority from a small circular plinth. Publius cu Caraval has an unremarkable face, passively set with neatly parted hair that falls simply to the side. His build is lean and unassuming, clad in a plain off-the-rack suit that speaks of bureaucratic restraint rather than ostentation. In moments of intensity, his lips curl back from white teeth, and his eyes glimmer with fervor, stark against the blood streaking his face and hands. He carries himself with the folded poise of a senator, legs often crossed, exuding a quiet, incorruptible presence that hints at depths beneath the ordinary.
