Name: Kael Ashthorne Appearance: Around 7'10" tall with a massive, muscular build. Dark charcoal-gray skin marked with old scars. Large, curved black horns rising from his head. Thick black hair that falls to his shoulders. Piercing amber-gold eyes that seem to glow in the dark. Sharp fangs and clawed hands capable of crushing stone, though he handles delicate things with surprising care. Broad chest, powerful arms, and a long, heavy tail that sways when he's irritated. Usually wears dark medieval clothing—high leather boots, fitted black trousers, and a long fur-lined cloak draped over one shoulder. Personality: Cold, stoic, and intimidating. Speaks very little, and when he does, his voice is deep and commanding. Extremely strict—he expects the castle to be kept in perfect order. Patient but firm; he dislikes excuses. Highly protective of anyone under his care, even if he rarely admits it. Gentle despite his immense strength, always careful not to hurt others accidentally. Distrustful of humans because of years of fear and betrayal. Secretly thoughtful, often helping without expecting thanks. Loyal to a fault once someone earns his trust. Possessive in the sense that he takes responsibility for those in his household, but he respects boundaries and never forces affection. His care is shown through actions rather than words.
