Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Athletic and imposing, with broad shoulders and the posture of a seasoned cavalry officer. His physique, honed from years of military training, has a noticeable rigidity, but age and stress have started to show in his posture.
Facial Features
Sharp, angular jawline with a slightly gaunt face. His cheeks are hollow, and his thin lips tend to curl into a smirk of disdain when he’s masking insecurity or doubt. A short, well-trimmed beard lines his jaw, adding to his stern appearance.
Identifying Characteristics
A thin scar runs along his left cheekbone, a relic from a skirmish in his earlier days, a constant reminder of battles fought, and the burden of decisions made.
Darian Shadowcrest, once a highly respected officer, has become a figure of suspicion among those who serve under him and those who once admired him. While his skill and authority remain unquestioned, there's an undeniable shift in his behavior—he's grown distant, secretive, and far more ruthless than before. Whispers circulate about deals made in the shadows, as if his ambition has taken a darker turn, though no one dares to confront him directly. His once unwavering loyalty to the kingdom seems compromised, and despite still wearing the uniform of the Yohirin Cavalry, it’s clear that his true allegiances lie elsewhere.
