Tongueless
MinorA pale-skinned Obsidian man past fifty stands six and a half feet tall with a gaunt and thin build, his spine protruding like a fossil beneath sun-starved skin. Greasy white hair spills from a deeply receding hairline distorted by a half-completed scalping that indents the front of his head like the bottom of an egg, while a filthy beard covers his chin. His face is saturated with tattoo ink including spirit eyes on the eyelids that stare when he blinks over deep sunken black intelligent eyes that watch with sinister mathematical curiosity rather than a warrior's posture. The backs of his knotted hands are embedded with solid black Obsidian caste crescents, and runic blue tattoos mark his lower legs as he moves with the presence of an Ice shaman.
Tongueless emerges in Iron Gold as a haunting figure among the Obsidians, a gaunt, tattooed shaman whose sinister intelligence and eerie presence mark him as a formidable enigma in the escalating conflicts of the Red Rising Saga. With his pale, frostbitten features, spirit-eye tattoos, and the aura of an Ice shaman, he embodies the brutal mysticism of his caste, watching events unfold with mathematical curiosity rather than brute force. Though his role in the broader series remains nascent by book four, Tongueless hints at deeper machinations yet to unfold in the frozen undercurrents of the Society's remnants.
