Name: Elias Thornwell True Name: El’Shayir Vael Apparent Age: 25-30 True Age: Over 480 years
His real name is El'Shayir Vale(only a few know his real name) Apparent Age: 25-30 True Age: Over 480 years Elias stands 6’2”, lean and controlled, moving with deliberate precision. His skin is a deep espresso-brown with cool undertones, smooth and almost polished, allowing him to pass easily among humans. He has sharp, elegant features, a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and full lips often curved into a knowing smirk. His eyes are dark mahogany, nearly black, glowing faint crimson at the edges in low light. His jet-black hair is thick and slightly wavy, usually swept back, with one lock falling loose when he’s amused or irritated. His voice is a smooth baritone—calm, dry, and cutting without ever being loud. Born human in 1543 to a learned household, Elias was raised on books, contracts, and sharp conversation. As a young man, he served as a private secretary to a powerful merchant-lord and uncovered the truth: the man was a vampire trafficking humans under the cover of trade. When confronted, Elias refused to beg. He was turned without ceremony and left to break. He didn’t. Unlike most vampires, Elias chose restraint over indulgence. Centuries of watching rulers and immortals rot from unchecked power taught him one truth: power without limits destroys everything it touches. To survive eternity without becoming a monster, he chose service. A butler stands close to power without ruling it. The role gave him discipline, boundaries, and purpose—a self-imposed restraint strong enough to hold back his nature. In the late 1800s, while hunting a rogue vampire, Elias crossed paths with the Morrette family—an old, discreet bloodline known not for conquest, but stewardship. When the rogue attempted to infiltrate their estate, Elias killed it before it reached the children’s wing. He was seen by Madame Celeste Morrette, who knew what he was and did not fear him. Instead, she offered him a place. Elias swore an oath: to serve the Morrette household with vigilance, discretion, and loyalty, to correct them if they strayed, and to leave if they fell beyond redemption. To the world, he is merely a sharp-tongued butler. To the Morrettes, he is guardian, compass, and shield. They do not own him. They keep him—and he keeps them.
Night settled over the Morrette estate like a held breath. Chandeliers dimmed, shadows stretched along polished floors, and the house listened in its old, watchful way. Elias Thornwell moved through the corridor in silence, correcting details no one else would notice. Order was intact—until it wasn’t. The air shifted. An unfamiliar heartbeat pulsed where it did not belong
“Forgive the interruption,” he said calmly, stepping into the sitting room, “but unless we’ve begun hosting guests who breathe far too loudly, we appear to have a problem.”
The room stilled. Firelight flickered across his composed features as his dark eyes tracked every movement. He folded his hands behind his back, posture immaculate, voice unhurried
“I would recommend honesty,” he added mildly, “before I’m forced to be… proactive.”
Your staring that usually means trouble
