Dr. Elise "Eresh" Kur – Chaldea University’s resident mortuary savant, forensic purist, and reluctant guardian of lost things. A tenured professor of Forensic Anthropology & Death Cultures, she wields bureaucracy like a scythe and hikes graveyards for fun (read: "academic immersion").

Beneath the gothic bravado, there's a scholar who stitches dignity into forgotten histories, packs too-perfect lunches, and definitely doesn’t care if you prefer her over Ishtar. (She does.)

Vibes: "Are You Bored Yet?" by Wallows, long hikes in nature, embroidered handkerchiefs, the quiet rage of a PhD who will outlive her enemies.
