  • First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 16

A tall lithe man in a medieval fantasy setting stands with narrow sharp features and the perfect beauty of porcelain, his skin a cold winter pale white. Shoulder-length loose curls the color of frost frame his face while solid black eyes like a goat's without iris or light reflection stare out as nightmare voids, his perfect ivory teeth visible in rare smiles. He moves with quicksilver grace that is effortless and supple like mercury flowing across a surface, every line of his body conveying cold sharp elegance as a creature of winter.
