Centurion Vorkian emerges in Iron Gold as a disciplined soldier whose brief but telling arc embodies the brutal hierarchy of the post-conquest Solar Republic. First glimpsed stepping forward in submission, she is quickly absorbed into Apollonius au Valii-Rath’s retinue, serving as one of his personal bodyguards. Her presence underscores the lingering power of Gold warlords and the soldiers who still orbit them, even as the wider world shifts toward new allegiances.
Description
Vorkian is a dark-skinned Gray woman with bright white hair buzzed close to her head. Her face is deeply weathered, its creases and planes compared to old boot leather. She has a soldier’s practical, disciplined bearing; the text gives no specific uniform details, so her clothing remains understated and military in character.
