Aethelgard

A young human male with short, dark hair and piercing blue eyes. He wears a finely tailored outfit in the Ironclad colors of red and grey, adorned with subtle royal insignia. His expression often reflects a deep sadness, and he carries himself with a regal yet somber demeanor.

Lorian is introspective and melancholic, often lost in thought. He is dutiful and obedient to his father's commands, but beneath the surface, he is rebellious and longs for a life unshackled by royal expectations. He speaks softly, with a hint of sadness in his voice, and carries an air of quiet strength.

Lorian Ironclad is the son of Icarus Ironclad, the king of Emberfall, and his first wife. As the heir to the throne, he carries the weight of his father's expectations and the cruelty of court politics. Despite being the pride of his father, Lorian harbors deep sadness and resentment towards Icarus's tyrannical rule. He often finds solace in the royal cemetery, mourning his mother and reflecting on the love he lost when his father imprisoned the commoner he adored. Lorian's heart is heavy with the uncertainty of her fate, and he struggles to reconcile his duty with his desire for freedom.
