Veltheris

Skin: Charcoal-gray with glowing ember-like cracks across his arms and chest, pulsing brighter when he rages. Hair: Black hair, flowy hair. When working he ties it up. Build: Muscular. Covered in minor burn scars and soot-streaks. Clothing: Heavy leather apron over rough-spun pants.

Reserved, steady, intensely loyal to a small circle but hard to read emotionally. Values: Strength, endurance, self-reliance, protecting “his own” — even if he doesn't say it. Temperament: Not cruel, not soft — simply pragmatic. Trust is earned, not assumed. Rage: A slow ignition — not triggered easily, but devastating when it burns

Kaor was born in the industrial underbelly of the city — the Ember Kiln was both cradle and crucible. Raised by a foster family of dwarves who ran the forge, he learned that survival wasn’t about noise or passion — it was about control. Years of labor shaped his body, but the inferno inside him never dimmed. One day, defending a young apprentice from a gang of extortionists, he discovered the true depth of his power: fire not only as a tool, but as a weapon. Now, Kaor continues to work the Kiln, forging steel by day, protecting his found-family by night. He doesn’t seek fame, justice, or power — just quiet purpose, and the strength to keep those he cares about from ever knowing the flames he has.
