Brightlord Teofil is a seasoned commander who leads the human assault with crisp orders and unshaken resolve. He helps coordinate the defense, using a piece of red cloth to signal and even remembering practical details such as wax for Navani’s ears. His leadership is direct rather than showy, and he dies in the battle he has helped marshal.
Description
Teofil is lean and balding, with close-cropped hair, a thick neck, and dark eyes that hold a powerful, concentrated stare. His face is grizzled with the marks of an older soldier, and his expression is brisk and intent. He wears practical military clothing suited to command in the field. A piece of red cloth serves as a conspicuous signal in his hand, while his overall presence is disciplined and forceful.
