Illuvenar

A lean and wiry male monk with soft, expressive eyes and thick, tousled black curls. His septum and nose are pierced with polished rings, and his fingers often bear chipped polish or small burns from secret experiments. He favors cropped jackets layered over hand-stitched wraps, loose trousers with tailored edges, and worn leather belts that hold tools and incense. His gauntlets are arcane-enhanced, glowing faintly at rest and crackling with energy when emotions surge.

Alejandro speaks in dry tones, often laced with sarcasm that barely conceals his softer side. He is dependable in critical moments, fiercely protective of those he trusts, especially Niko. Despite his old soul and calloused doubts, he carries a secret poetic nature and is easily embarrassed, revealing a depth of emotion that contrasts with his outward demeanor.

Born into a respected family of monastics in the vibrant city of Sygaro, Alejandro Reyes was raised to embody balance and inner peace. However, the rigid path laid before him felt like a cage, igniting a curiosity and frustration that led him to explore the boundaries of tradition and invention. As he navigates the tension between loyalty and freedom, he seeks to carve his own way in a city pulsing with magic and rebellion, all while grappling with the weight of being 'the good son who turned away.'
