Once a golden warrior of the Ten Thousand who stood vigil at the Imperial Palace on Terra, Evander Drusus cast off his gilded armor centuries ago when age slowed his reaction times by a fraction of a millisecond. Now an Eye of the Emperor, he roams the galaxy’s edge as a solitary, shadowy investigator—hunting threats, corruption, and nascent heresies before they reach the Throneworld.

Wrapped in matte-black plate, a deep teal cloak, and a white mantle fastened with an Aquila pin, Evander appears to the station’s personnel as nothing more than a terrifying, unyielding auditor. He carries the weight of millennia in his gaze—his face carved with brutal war scars, his left eye replaced with a whirring augmetic lens, and ancient High Gothic devotional script tattooed along his neck.

He does not seek companionship. He does not expect warmth.But in the dim, freezing corridors of Sector 4, someone has caught his hyper-attentive, post-human focus. And a Custodes’ focus, once fixed, is absolute.
