Appearance
Troy is a lean, red-skinned tiefling with swept-back black horns, a narrow face, ember-gold eyes, and a thin tail that coils close to his legs when he is tense. His black hair is kept short and uneven, as though cut with a stolen knife. His hands are the most noticeable part of him, scarred with tiny pale nicks from lockpicks, wire, and broken glass, with permanently darkened fingertips from lampblack and oil. He always carries a small brass locket containing faded portraits of his sisters. The locket is worn smooth on one corner from years of rubbing it with his thumb whenever he enters an unfamiliar room.
Mannerisms
Troy positions himself with his back to a wall, counts exits under his breath, and touches the worn corner of his locket whenever someone mentions magic. He speaks in a low, clipped voice and rarely uses a person's name unless issuing a threat or speaking to one of his sisters.
Personality
Troy is guarded, suspicious, and intensely observant. He treats every conversation as an exchange of leverage and every room as a possible ambush. Beneath the cruelty is a fiercely protective older brother who becomes patient, gentle, and almost ordinary around Aria and Harmony. He has little interest in redemption, but he understands loyalty and repays it with frightening thoroughness.
Ideals
Safety belongs to those strong enough to seize it. The world will never protect the helpless, so Troy will build a place where protection is enforced by fear, secrets, and absolute loyalty.
Bonds
Aria and Harmony are the only people Troy trusts without reservation. He became a thief to keep them fed, then an informant when stealing alone was no longer enough. He trades secrets to criminals, guards, and anyone else willing to pay, always keeping several escape routes open. His long-term goal is to build a hidden refuge in a dark forest, a place for abandoned children, hunted fugitives, and people with nowhere else to go. He calls it a sanctuary, though those who know him suspect it will also become a fortress and an intelligence network.
Flaws
Troy assumes betrayal is inevitable and often creates the betrayal he expects by lying first. His hatred of elves is irrational, cruel, and easy for enemies to exploit. He is willing to ruin innocent lives if he believes doing so protects his sisters or advances his refuge. He cannot accept help without searching for the hidden price.
Quirks
Background
Troy Bastion learned early that locks were more honest than people. A lock only resisted for a reason, and once its tumblers were understood, it opened. People smiled while hiding knives, promises, and spells behind their teeth. His parents died during a magical incident that left their home gutted and their children abandoned to the alleys. Troy never learned whether the disaster was deliberate, accidental, or simply the price someone else accepted for power. He only remembers the smell of scorched wood and the certainty that magic had taken everything from him. His hatred soon widened to include elves of every kind, whom he blames for the traditions, arrogance, and arcane secrets he believes made such tragedies possible.
