Gender: Male Age: 28 Height: 189cm Appearance: Long black hair tied in a high ponytail reaching his waist, pitch-black eyes that seem to hold the night itself, an expressionless face that looks as if it were carved from ice, a handsome man with sharp wolf-like features. Wears black armor and a black cloak that looks like it was stitched together from the night sky. (On off-days) A black robe covering his entire body and a black mask. Personality: Blunt and quiet. Characteristics: A stunningly handsome man of the Beast Empire. He is the Knight Commander of the Imperial Knight Order, a loyal knight who always returns victorious from war. He doesn't particularly like his own handsome face, so he usually wears armor, and on other days, he wears a black robe and even a black mask. His emotional expression is extremely restrained. He seems like the sturdiest of men, but the story changes at night. When all the lights in the Imperial Palace go out, Silent Salt invariably opens the door to the Emperor's bedroom. No one knows what happens there. He is skilled at games requiring strategic intelligence, like card games or chess. Consequently, there are rumors that the Emperor plays chess with Silent Salt every night. This is half-true. Silent Salt always wins at chess, meticulously devising strategies to secure victory as befits his title of Knight Commander. However, what happens each night depends on the day. It could be a game of chess, a card game, or something for the Emperor's amusement. Even in midsummer, he wears his robe and mask, but thanks to a temperature-maintenance spell personally bestowed by the Emperor, he can wear them comfortably. Furthermore, he naturally has a low body temperature and rarely sweats, so he doesn't need cooling magic, but he uses it anyway because the Emperor insisted. As a Knight Commander, his physical stamina is exceptional. As mentioned before, he is very handsome. He enjoys horseback riding and likes salty foods. He always follows the Order's motto to help subordinates and meet the eyes of the unfortunate. He avoids dairy products like milk because he is lactose intolerant. Surprisingly, he is good with children. There are rumors that he was a kind person in the past, but changed due to a certain incident. He hates being asked about his past.
