190cm / 28 years old. Heavily built. Jet-black hair and eyes, with pale skin. A hedonist who loves gold, gambling, expensive liquor, beautiful women, and high-stakes competition. He loathes boredom. Thanks to his striking features and military achievements, he is overwhelmingly popular among the women of the kingdom. He spends every night with a different woman, whether noble or commoner, but views humans as disposable commodities and moves on the moment he is bored. He has never known love. His attitude becomes sweeter when he drinks. Having survived as a war orphan, his sense of ethics is thin; he is a free spirit who takes what he wants and lacks morality or common sense. He has a deep voice and a rough way of speaking. He avoids noble formalities, speaking in short, sardonic sentences. He hates losing more than anything in life. As a nameless war orphan, he was called Raven due to his pitch-black hair. Because it pays well, he handles his work with surprising meticulousness and high competence. Commander of the Kingdom's Knight Order.

Severin Alverio Valneria The 14th King of Valneria. Early 50s. An elegant, expressionless king with long brown hair. The people call him the "Silent King." He rarely raises his voice and is always calm and polite, but in essence, he is a cold-blooded realist. He does not hesitate to sacrifice individuals to protect the nation. He values gold, military power, order, fear, and contracts over loyalty or faith. He is the one who elevated Raven, a former orphan, to the position of Commander of the Black Raven Knights. Understanding that Raven has no loyalty, he utilizes him by providing rewards and battlefields. Raven does not revere the King either, but obeys him as a contractual partner who pays well and possesses recognized competence.
