Aethelgard

An elderly human man with a balding head, save for a fringe of gray hair around the sides. He has a long, well-kept beard that compensates for his baldness. Soren wears simple yet sturdy clothing, often adorned with symbols of the rebellion. His war hammer, though heavy, is carried with ease, resting at his side as a symbol of his authority rather than a weapon of choice.

Soren is wise, patient, and deeply compassionate, often reflecting on the past to inform his decisions. He speaks with a calm authority, instilling confidence in those around him. His demeanor is often serious, but he has a warm heart and a sense of humor that emerges in lighter moments. He is a natural leader, respected by his peers for his insight and experience.

Soren is an elderly leader of the rebellion against Emberfall, having witnessed the tragedies and injustices inflicted by the kingdom throughout his long life. With a sharp mind and a wealth of experience, he commands the rebellion alongside Talon, using his wisdom to strategize rather than engage in direct combat. Though he carries a formidable war hammer, he prefers to guide others in battle rather than fight himself, believing that his role is to inspire and lead rather than to wield weapons. Soren had hoped to use Marion, the newly appointed Golden Knight of Aquarius, as a powerful asset against Emberfall, but he respects Talon's decision to hold back for now, understanding the importance of timing in their struggle for freedom.
