Quicksilver
SupportingAlso known as: Regulus ag Sun
A man in his sixties with bronzed skin and a bald head that shows off his deeply wrinkled forehead like a washboard. He has a stocky, fleshy build with hunched simian shoulders and thick butcher fingers. His face is like that of a bulldog with pugilist lips, a humped nose, and is accented by a small goatee and mustache. Two heavy-lidded silver eyes dominate his gaze, but the most striking feature is the third golden eye implanted in a simple silver ring that he wears on the middle finger of his right hand. He dresses in a high-collared turquoise robe embroidered with apple trees and goes about barefoot.
Quicksilver emerges in Morning Star as a mysterious, enigmatic figure with a distinctive third golden eye, embodying an aura of ancient wisdom and subtle power amid the chaos of the Rising. In Iron Gold, his true identity as Regulus ag Sun, the exiled Sunlord of the Rim, is unveiled, transforming him from a shadowy operative into a pivotal political player whose alliances bolster the Republic's precarious hold on the outer dominions. Across the saga, Quicksilver evolves from cryptic supporter to revealed mastermind, his unassuming rotundity masking strategic brilliance in the shifting tides of post-war intrigue.
