Ordran Veythar Gost – The Master of House Gost
A tall, commanding figure, Ordran Veythar Gost carries himself with the measured confidence of a man who is always in control. His presence alone demands respect—or at least careful consideration. He is a man of calculated patience, rarely speaking more than necessary, yet every word he utters carries weight.
His ice-blue eyes, cold and sharp as a finely honed blade, seem to measure everything and everyone around him. They hold no warmth, only a quiet intensity that makes lesser men uneasy. His face, lined with age and experience, is weathered but refined, with the strong, chiseled features of nobility. A silver beard, neatly trimmed, frames his sharp jaw, complementing the slicked-back hair that still holds the remnants of its once-dark hue.
Dressed in dark, expertly tailored robes, he balances the elegance of nobility with the practicality of a man who understands the weight of power. Rich black fabric, trimmed with subtle gold embroidery, drapes over his broad shoulders, flowing down into a long, dignified coat. The golden accents, though understated, speak of wealth and lineage, a quiet display of his family's enduring influence.
Around his waist, a practical leather belt holds small vials, pouches, and an ornamental clasp—each placed deliberately, hinting at a man who prepares for every possibility. A deep crimson sash hangs from his side, a striking contrast against his dark attire, yet its significance remains unclear. Some say it is a symbol of House Gost’s past, others a personal mark of victory or loss.
Despite his age and station, there is nothing frail about Ordran. His posture is impeccable, his every movement deliberate and controlled, as if he always knows more than he lets on. He does not demand attention in the way of a brash lord—rather, the room adjusts itself to accommodate him, conversations pausing ever so slightly when he enters.
To the casual observer, Ordran Veythar Gost is a noble of means, a businessman of influence, and a man of measured ambition. To those who look closer, he is something far more dangerous—a man who never acts without purpose.
