Skyrend

A middle-aged human male Artificer with short, graying black hair and sharp green eyes. He wears utilitarian robes stained with soot and volatile chemical residues, adorned with a chain of gold-riveted trade medals. His hands bear faint burn marks from his alchemical experiments.

Practical and commanding, Kesh is a volatile force in the industrial world, always calculating his next move with cold precision. He values power and control above all, wielding his knowledge of chemistry and trade to maintain dominance. Despite his ruthless nature, he commands respect through his intelligence and strategic mind.

Dux Arvando Kesh rose from humble beginnings as a refinery foreman in Mexara, the primary fuel transit hub of the shattered world of Skyrend. Through sharp intellect, ruthless business tactics, and mastery of alchemical arts, he climbed the ranks to become the Dux, ruling the vital fuel trade with an iron fist. Kesh built his empire by forging strategic alliances and eliminating competitors, believing that true power lies in controlling the skies' lifeblood—the fuel that powers every airship. His office is a blend of war room and laboratory, filled with samples of every fuel ever sold, symbolizing his command over the volatile energy that keeps the world aloft.
