Kael Ironborn

Backstory

Kael was forged in mercenary companies across three kingdoms, earning coin and scars in equal measure. Scarred face, one eye milky with old poison, he's learned that loyalty dies when gold dries up—until King Aldric offered him something rarer: a place. Now Captain of the Valorian Guard's outer watch, Kael guards the borderlands and suspects the traitor walks castle halls while he stands in the mud. He's drawn into this conspiracy because someone he trusts has gone silent, and silence means betrayal in his world.
