Cypselos Montford is the second son of the Montford noble family—a young aasimar who carries the weight of expectations he never asked for. Intended to become a scholar while his brother Aiden became the military prodigy, Cypselos struggled beneath impossible standards, constant comparisons, and a lifetime of feeling “not enough.” Eventually he followed Aiden into the military, believing he could at least fail with purpose there.
He is gentle, intelligent, and deeply wounded, yet fiercely protective of his sisters. Even through his depression, he gives everything he has to make their lives easier, even at the cost of his own well-being. Cypselos is a reluctant cleric whose healing magic is stronger than he realizes, blessed with celestial power he doubts he deserves.
