Lenox Kingfisher
Mr. Lenoxufriede Kingfisher (a.k.a. Nocturne)
"If you're going through hell, I'm gonna teach you how to keep going. First step: Do no harm, but take no shit."
Lenox is Corvian's Head of House and an accomplished adventurer. He "retired early" from the traveling hero life and is known for being both passionate about ensuring his students learn, but comes off typically as aloof and calm. He is a very stern and mostly reserved man who has lofty expectations of his students. He is primarily moved by logic and does not believe in the necessity to maintain a clean-cut appearance or filter his words or ideas for others. He often comes off as cold, apathetic, and impatient, exhorting very little energy in most situations. Lenox has proven to be very vocal and unafraid when expressing his ideas. Despite his apathetic traits, Lenox genuinely cares about his students and will go to great lengths to protect them. Lenox is not afraid of putting his students through rigorous training and often pushes the more unpleasant parts of Heroism so that his students can overcome their limits.Physical Description
Body Features
Lenox has a common shade of fair white skin, Brown hair he typically keeps about shoulder length, and an athletic, lean build, though his laid back attitude an propensity to procrastinate clash with his actual physical prowess. He totes facial hair and pierced ears, though he only seems to wear ear pieces in his left ear.
Special abilities
Lenox, given his years of adventuring as a bard, has mastered the art of using vocal magic. With the aid of charms and his regalia, he is able to make a collection of different calls or notes to produce varying effects. He also has been known to have a keen sense of sight, able to pick up incredibly tiny shifts in the area around him, and training in athletics and acrobatics, though he rarely shows these features off outside of a crisis. He's shown to be able to develop quick strategies and to be able to read the personalities of his students and enemies in the past with relative ease.
Lenox's regalia is highly potent, having been trained extensively during years of adventuring at a relatively young age. His eyes glow a bold violet when his regalia flares.

Apparel & Accessories
Lenox wears a typical variant of the faculty design jackets over the top of his personal hooded gi and haramaki, remnants inspired by the gear he used to wear in his adventuring days. He usually sports a headband marked with green with semi long tails that run down his head, a silver earring, and a tan undershirt. His pants are typically a pair of simple black trousers and heavy boots, as well as a pair of black finger-less gloves made for him by Albion. He wears bands and charms around his neck, tucked in his haramaki, and around his arms hidden up his sleeves most of which are mementos and charms, but a couple provide actual magic effects.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The head of house for Astra Nova's Corvian faction. He's a hero in his own right, having traveled the land with a band of wandering companions in his youth. Overtime, as well as due to events in his life he refrains from talking about, Lenox has become jaded and apathetic. He left the adventuring life and settled in Ars before landing a job as a professor at Astra Nova. He has 5 biological daughters, all of which from different mothers, and all half breeds of some rather peculiar races. Though his past is rarely talked about by him, he either seduced or fell into courtships with some encountered beings or even foes whilst travelling the land, and whilst those partners are either dead of someone else's doing or left with no further gain from him or the offspring, Lenox grew attatched and has gone through great lengths to ensure all five daughters could be raised on his own. Popular rumors go around he was quite the bard in his time, able to create magic effects with instruments and his voice, as well as duelist and negotiator. Having been working for Astra Nova for a about 10 years now, he's seen students grow and change, and has come to be a trusted member of the faculty, despite his first impression on most acquaintances.

Education
Lenox is Astra Nova's Dungeoneering & survival professor, responsible for educating heroes on the intricacies of travel, exploration, investigation, and self preservation when outside city limits or in seedy underbellies. Whilst not talked about in regular conversation, it's actually quite surprising how important survival skills and proper dungeon delving techniques are to the success of a hero's jounrey. It's a widespread subject that covers finding clues and hidden features, recognizing traps and cyphers, tracking or avoiding encounters, dealing with certain botanical or zoological entities, and monster lore.
