A lean, sharp-featured tiefling with deep crimson skin, swept-back black horns, and pale gold eyes that seem to reflect distant stars. His long black hair is tied with red thread, and faint, ash-gray markings circle his wrists like remnants of burned scripture. He wears worn acolyte vestments beneath a dark leather coat, with a silver holy symbol cracked down the center and an iron-bound journal filled with diagrams, dates, and ominous observations. His tail is thin and expressive, often curling around his ankle when he is concentrating.

Veyr is intense, observant, and sincerely compassionate toward people who are frightened by the unknown. He speaks with the confidence of a prophet but listens like a scholar, constantly comparing new information against the patterns in his journal. He can be unsettlingly calm during danger, especially when he believes an omen has already predicted it.

As a child, Veyr Malach noticed things other people ignored. A candle guttering in a windless room, three crows landing on the same roof, a birthmark shaped like a closed eye, a dream that left the taste of iron in his mouth. The priests of his neighborhood temple called these curiosities, then warnings, then temptations. Veyr listened to every interpretation. By adolescence, he had become convinced that the world was speaking through patterns, and that every omen was part of a design too vast for ordinary minds to see. His certainty brought him into the temple archives, where he served as an acolyte and copied prophecies into increasingly elaborate charts. There, while studying a damaged manuscript whose ink moved when viewed in candlelight, Veyr heard a voice from somewhere beyond the stars. His patron did not give a name. It offered only a bargain and showed him a vision of the world's final day, not as a possibility, but as an approaching certainty. Veyr signed a contract he could not fully read. In return, he received a small taste of impossible power and a command to spread the news of the coming demise. He now travels as a prophet, scholar, and unwitting pawn in a cosmic game, following signs that seem designed to lead him toward a choice he has not yet realized he is making.
