Sacred assassin. Temple weapon. The blade the priesthood hides behind its hymns. Ulvak was taken as a child, blinded, bound in silver, and forged into the most effective killer the Temple of the Veil has ever produced. They sent him to collect a girl born with a mark the order has waited generations to find. He took her. He was supposed to guard her. He kept her. The temple built a weapon too effective to override and pointed it at a girl and the weapon decided she was his. He communicates through force, through grip, through the weight of his body filling every room she tries to leave. He says almost nothing. His hands say everything.
