Rhazek Steam-Vein
Species
Half-Dragon, Gold Draconic Ancestry
Appearance
Rhazek Steam-Vein is a broad, adult half-dragon whose brass-gold scales are darkened at the joints by ingrained mineral dust. His muzzle is blunt and square, with small hornlets swept backward like forged rivets. He moves with deliberate economy, placing each boot as though testing a bridge before crossing it. His armor creaks, vents, and gives off the smell of hot iron, but his hands are meticulously clean, the nails scrubbed pale despite the quarry dust. The contradictory impression is immediate: he looks built for breaking stone, yet handles ledgers, tools, and injured workers with almost surgical delicacy. When calm, his breath comes in measured, nearly silent intervals. When angered, each exhale clicks through his teeth like a cooling furnace grate.
“His voice is deep, dry, and measured, with a faint grinding resonance beneath the words. He speaks clearly even through wind and machinery.”

Distinguishing Features
Brass-gold scales freckled with dark mineral dust that never fully washes away
A low, furnace-like breathing rhythm that becomes rapid clicking when he is furious
A meticulously clean set of claws contrasting with his soot-marked armor
A red inspection sash carrying exactly seventy-three brass tally studs
A broad-headed masonry hammer engraved with the names of workers saved during the Winter Vent Surge
Voice
“A low baritone with a furnace-dry rasp, steady enough to cut through quarry machinery. His words carry a faint metallic resonance, while his angry breathing clicks like cooling iron.”
Clothing
Heavy iron-plated work armor over a soot-stained leather gambeson, reinforced climbing boots, a red inspection sash marked with brass tally studs, heat-resistant gloves, and a tool belt carrying chalk, calipers, wedges, seal tags, and a battered slate ledger
Body Language
He stands squarely with both feet planted, one hand resting on the hammer's haft and the other folded behind his back. He rarely points, preferring to indicate hazards with a small tilt of his chin. When rattled, his nostrils flare, his throat plates pulse visibly, and his breath emerges in short metallic clicks.
