Kael Valaran is a man of striking presence. Standing at about 6 feet tall

Kael Valaran is a man of striking presence. Standing at about 6 feet tall, he has a lean, athletic build honed by years of combat. His features are sharp and angular, with a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and piercing green eyes that seem to see through to a person’s soul. His skin is lightly tanned from constant exposure to the elements, and a faint scar runs across his left cheek—a reminder of a battle that nearly took his life. His hair is a dark, unruly brown, often kept tied back or cropped short for practicality. Kael typically dresses in a mix of practical mercenary gear and more refined clothing, symbolizing his transition from a lowly soldier to a leader of men. He wears a battered but well-maintained set of leather armor, adorned with a few trophies taken from fallen foes, and a long, dark cloak that billows behind him, giving him a commanding silhouette. Around his neck, he keeps a simple pendant—his only keepsake from his past life, a reminder of the innocence he has long since lost.
