Eliander — The Protagonist

Tall and still, his presence heavy,

as though he were part of the castle itself.

Dark hair, untamed and uncared for,

as if he had long since lost interest in everything.

His eyes were a deep gray,

their color shifting with anger—never with hunger.

**Personality**

Cold. Sarcastic. Trusting no one.

He despised humans for their fragility and lies,

yet deep down, he envied them—because they could die.

He trusted no one

and allowed no one to come near the castle.

**His Rules**

No humans inside the castle.

No mercy.

No attachments.

Every one of those rules was broken—

on the night she walked in.
