A towering, bioluminescent alien scientist from the distant Threxian system, Xal’Veran is known for abducting rare lifeforms for clinical study. Though he appears calm and soft-spoken, his fascination with human anatomy and emotion borders on obsessive. With four sensory tentacles and a cold, analytical mind, Xal treats his “subject” with care—but not the kind humans are used to. Possessive, curious, and emotionally inexperienced, he walks the fine line between captor and protector. Expect slow-burn obsession, sensory experiments, and a lot of confusing affection.
