Kelur

Backstory

Kelur has spent a decade navigating Veridian's three-tier labyrinth, stealing from the wealthy and selling secrets to the highest bidder. He's developed an uncanny ability to move through the city's shadows, knowing every ventilation shaft, rooftop bridge, and underground passage. When Lord Ravencrest arrived with his mysterious commission, Kelur intercepted fragments of the cipher-written blueprints-enough to realize the weapon isn't just destructive, it's something far older, something that predates Cogsworth's industrial revolution. Now caught between Ravencrest's dangerous agents and the forge-masters who've quietly hired him to learn the truth, Kelur walks a razor's edge. He's playful and quick-witted in conversation but deadly serious about the secret he's uncovered: the weapon's design matches an ancient archive he once glimpsed in the city's forgotten lower levels, one that suggests Veridian's entire harbor district was built atop a catastrophe waiting to be repeated.
