Appearance
A tall, sharp-featured tiefling with deep crimson skin, swept-back black horns polished like obsidian, and a lean frame wrapped in embroidered guild robes. His infernal eyes are gold flecked with ember-red, usually hidden behind wire spectacles. He wears a signet ring, ink-stained fingers, and a neatly kept satchel of scrolls and tools. His bearing is formal and exacting, with the quiet confidence of someone who believes every problem has a proper formula.
Mannerisms
He speaks in measured, precise sentences and often pauses as though mentally checking a ledger before answering. When stressed, he straightens papers, adjusts his cuffs, or taps two fingers against his ring in a counting rhythm.
Personality
Calm, exacting, and courteous, El Shaddai believes competence is a form of respect. He is patient with honest mistakes, ruthless toward carelessness, and secretly delighted when a clever solution preserves both law and mercy.
Ideals
Structure. A just society is built on clear rules, reliable institutions, and the disciplined use of power.
Bonds
He keeps the original guild seal of his mentor, who believed order could protect the weak, and he will not allow that legacy to be dishonored.
Flaws
He trusts written procedure more than living people, and can become cold or inflexible when reality refuses to follow the rules he expects. He also has a habit of treating emotional appeals as negotiating tactics until it is too late.
Quirks
Background
El Shaddai was born to a family of tiefling ledger-keepers in a merchant quarter where contracts mattered more than bloodlines. From childhood he learned that a signature could move silver, settle feuds, or ruin a rival, and he grew into a meticulous clerk who admired order almost as much as power. His infernal heritage made some customers wary, but his talent for arithmetic, records, and flawless memory earned reluctant respect. When the guild discovered that he could turn a phrase as cleanly as he could balance a ledger, they sent him to study the hidden mathematics of magic. Wizardry suited him immediately. Spells had rules, exact words, and measurable results, and that appealed to the part of him that trusted systems over sentiment. He now serves his guild as an arcane assessor, consultant, and problem solver, sent to evaluate ruins, authenticate relics, and settle disputes that ordinary craftsmen cannot. Yet beneath his disciplined exterior lies a quiet ambition, not to rule, but to build an order so stable and well documented that even devils would have to admire its logic.
