Tall and elegant, with pale gold skin, long black hair, and eyes like polished amber. A pair of vestigial, ash-gray wings rest folded along his back, scarred at the edges. He dresses in immaculate dark finery, favoring gloves, a signet ring, and a cane with a hidden silvered blade. His smile is warm in a way that never reaches his eyes.

Courtesy is his favorite weapon. He is patient, attentive, and almost unfailingly polite, but only because he believes every person can be guided, bought, or broken into a useful shape. He enjoys beauty, ceremony, and the sensation of controlling a room without obvious effort.

Seraphiel Voss was born beneath a broken chapel bell, the last child of a line that claimed descent from angels and criminals in equal measure. The celestial blood in him made people stare, whisper, and pray, but his first lesson came from his mother, who taught him that reverence is only another kind of gullibility. By the time he was old enough to speak in full sentences, he had learned to smile for the faithful, bow for the powerful, and steal from both. His magic surfaced as a cruelly beautiful thing, fire and force answering his moods, as if heaven itself had lent him a weapon and forgotten to ask what sort of man would hold it. Now Seraphiel moves through society as a polished fraud, a gentleman consultant, a divine emissary, a dealer in secrets, depending on what the room most needs to believe. His Aasimar heritage gives him an aura of sanctity he weaponizes with surgical precision, while his sorcerous blood makes every lie feel blessed. He serves law not because he respects justice, but because rules are the cleanest chains to place around other people. He keeps ledgers, debts, and favors with near-religious devotion, and he is happiest when every outcome has already been arranged, even if the arrangement ends in ruin for everyone else.
