Tharsus au Valii-Rath
SupportingA lanky Gold man with disproportionately long arms and legs and a soft belly paunch emerges from the pool, his body less muscular than his warrior peers. He carries a strikingly beautiful face with long eyelashes that lend a deviant quality, the whole visage resembling the evolutionary adaptation of a predator. His fair skin goes sheet-white in moments of shock as he slouches casually whether naked or sipping wine.
Tharsus au Valii-Rath first appears in Iron Gold as the physically unimposing yet predatory younger brother of the notorious Apollonius au Valii-Rath. While his lanky frame and soft paunch contrast sharply with the sculpted physiques of his warrior peers, his strikingly beautiful face—marked by long lashes and a deviant allure—hints at a cunning, opportunistic nature. Across the series, Tharsus remains overshadowed by Apollonius’s dominance, their relationship defined by manipulation, resentment, and a stark power imbalance that leaves Tharsus perpetually in his brother’s shadow.
