Zynthor Kaelvik

Zynthor's half-celestial heritage manifests as faint silver tracings beneath his dark skin, visible only when lamplight catches them at certain angles. His ranger's cloak is perpetually travel-stained, pockets bulging with salvaged rope, bird bones, and sketches of animal tracks rendered in careful detail. There's a restlessness to him—he drums his fingers against his bow's grip, shifts his weight constantly, as though standing still feels like betrayal. A jagged scar cuts through his left eyebrow, consequence of a trap he sprang deliberately to save a stranger's child. When he speaks, his words tumble out rapid and unfiltered, often contradicting what he said moments before, though his actions reveal a stubborn commitment to helping those society has abandoned. He keeps a journal bound in leather he refuses to identify, fills it with pressed flowers and names of people he's freed from servitude, and guards it with the kind of fierce protectiveness reserved for sacred things.
