Voster High Priest

Minor

An older Voster High Priest with completely bald head and translucent pale skin so thin that pulsing green veins are visible beneath, especially across his scalp where magic seems to flow. His green-black eyes hold a lingering, intense gaze from an aged face while exceptionally long green nails curve like ribbons or tiny snakes from every finger and toe. Dressed in burgundy robes that sway with his movement, he floats just above the ground on an invisible wind with bare feet rarely touching the floor unless grounding his power.

The Voster High Priest emerges in the series as a striking, otherworldly figure of arcane power, his translucent pale skin and pulsing green veins betraying a deep infusion with eldritch magic. Floating silently above the ground in swaying burgundy robes, his intense green-black gaze and serpentine green nails evoke both reverence and dread among those who witness him. Though his role in the broader narrative of the Shield of Sparrows remains nascent by Book 2, he embodies the ancient, ritualistic forces at play in 'Rites of the Starling,' hinting at greater machinations to unfold.
