Seris Valnath

Seris Valnath bears the ethereal poise of an immortal touched by shadows. Her pale silver skin shimmers like frost in candlelight, offset by long, ink-black hair always tied in intricate coils of ceremonial braid. Her eyes are pure violet, devoid of pupils, like polished amethyst. Seris favors garments of deep crimson and onyx, robes that shift in hue like dying embers. Her long, claw-like fingers are adorned with delicate rings that hold minor enchantments, each humming softly when she's deep in thought.

Reserved, disciplined, and enigmatic, Seris is a master of quiet authority. She speaks with measured grace, rarely raising her voice, relying on the weight of her words and reputation. Her mind is razor-sharp, a tactician and scholar both, who understands the mechanics of power as well as the depths of magic. She upholds the doctrine of the Crimson Veil without question, but she is not cruel — her loyalty is to order and efficiency over brutality. She has little tolerance for recklessness or sentimentality, but is capable of hidden depths of empathy where others would never suspect it.

As a senior member of the Crimson Veil, Seris ensures the magical infrastructure of Cressari remains intact — from illusion-cloaked security measures in the casinos to the soul-binding contracts enforced in the Hollow Ember.
