Kedren is a sleek young bronze dragonborn whose mirror-bright scales catch the blue-green lamplight like polished ship fittings. Fine ridges run from his brow to the back of his skull, each one carefully oiled, and his sharp amber eyes constantly move as though comparing the room against an invisible document. He moves with precise, economical grace, never quite turning his back on a door or a sealed cabinet. His claws are stained faintly violet from archival inks, and his spectacles are delicate enough to seem absurdly fragile on his powerful snout. The impression he leaves is of a court scholar, a lighthouse lens, and a coiled thunderstorm. The contradiction is striking: despite his immaculate grooming and ceremonial courtesy, one side of his collar is often damp with seawater from secret visits to the flooded lower vaults.
