Valdir the Unshorn
SupportingA massive warrior with a powerful muscular frame, moon-pale skin covered in tattoos and old scars, and a long dark valor tail of hair flowing down his back to his tailbone interwoven with war trophies. His unusually delicate face holds an avian bone structure, a nose broken twice, gaunt freckled cheeks, full notched lips, and intense black eyes shot with silver. He cuts an imposing figure in battered white pulse armor mounted with the skulls of slain warlords, frequently wearing a gigantic helmet fashioned from an African sand hydra skull and topped with meter-long green poison feathers while carrying a greataxe sized for a giant.
Valdir the Unshorn emerges in Dark Age as a towering Obsidian warrior and consort to Queen Sefi Volarus, his moon-pale frame adorned with war trophies, scars, and a massive African sand hydra helmet as he fights for upheaval. His fierce loyalty to Sefi is tested by political tensions, yet his imposing presence and greataxe bolster the ranks of those seeking change. In Light Bringer, Valdir evolves into a commanding leader of his people, his shaved head and flayed chest wounds marking a hardened resolve that inspires both terror and devotion among Obsidian forces. Forged as a Sky Bastard, he radiates quiet menace while advancing the cause with unyielding ferocity.
