Cassius au Bellona
MajorCassius au Bellona has thick golden curly hair and a charming dimple on his chin. His body is powerfully built with strong arms and broad shoulders made for combat. He wears the uniform of a Knight of the Dawn bearing the rising sun insignia, and healed burns leave faint pink patches on his skin in places.
Cassius au Bellona begins as a charismatic, physically imposing Gold knight whose loyalty to the Society is shattered when Darrow kills his brother Julian, transforming him from a celebrated warrior into a vengeful adversary. Across the series, his arc evolves from a straightforward rival driven by personal loss to a more complex figure whose honor and sense of justice are repeatedly tested by the escalating war between Golds and the rising Red rebellion. His journey reflects the broader fracturing of Gold society, as he grapples with the ideals he was raised to uphold versus the brutal realities of the conflict.
