Screwface
MinorThere's a feral edge to Screwface, like a mine rat who's learned to bite before being bitten, his twisted grin promising mischief or mayhem. He moves with the jittery energy of someone who's survived by being quicker and meaner than the rest. You can't help but wonder what scrapes have sharpened that cunning glint in his eye.
Screwface emerges in Red Rising as a scrawny, vigilant 16-year-old lowColor in Darrow's crew at Phobos Tower, faithfully hauling gear and carrying weapons into high-stakes duels amid the Institute's savage trials, embodying the gritty loyalty of the rebellion's underclass. By Morning Star, he has ascended to the elite rank of Howler, a testament to his survival and proven valor in the escalating war against the Golds. This evolution from shadowy background grunt to howling warrior underscores the saga's theme of lowborn ascent through blood and cunning.
Physical Description
Screwface is a lean, wiry 16-year-old boy of about 5'6", his pale lowColor skin etched with faint scars from a hardscrabble life in the mines. His short, unevenly cropped dark brown hair frames a sharp, angular face dominated by hazel eyes that gleam with cunning, and a perpetual twisted smirk that earns him his name. He dresses in ragged gray lowColor garb, patched and practical, with belts slung low heavy with slings, knives, and pouches. His posture is tense and feral, coiled like a spring, exuding the jittery readiness of a street survivor. male Howler
