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, begins as a minor but steadfast senator in the fledgling Republic, his copper hair and cold eyes masking a quiet devotion to the new order. By the time the Republic fractures in its darkest hour, his unremarkable face hardens into zealous fanaticism, transforming him from a passive bureaucrat into a blood-soaked symbol of Gold resistance. Across the series, his evolution mirrors the Republic’s own collapse: from poised endurance amid political chaos to open, lethal antagonism once the fragile alliances shatter.

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.
