Vaelor Duskscale
Paladin
Vaelor Duskscale
Species
Dragonborn
Appearance
Captain Vaelor is a broad-shouldered brass dragonborn whose armor always looks cleaner than the man inside it. His face is a hammered mask of old scars and polished golden scales, with soot caught in the grooves of his jaw and throat where a lesser soldier would have washed it away. He moves like a careful predator, every step measured, but the contradiction is in his gloves: one is beautifully embroidered in courtly red silk, the other is plain black leather stained with alley grime and lamp oil. He often smells faintly of rain on hot metal, expensive wine, and old paper. When he smiles, it is warm enough to trust and sharp enough to fear.
“Low, polished, and deliberate, with the cadence of official announcements softened by a streetwise edge; when angry, he becomes quieter instead of louder.”

Distinguishing Features
A fractured silver badge pinned over a hidden compartment in his breastplate
A burn scar shaped like a crown across his left palm
One golden horn has a crack sealed with black lacquer
A faint ring of soot permanently shadows the scales around his throat
He keeps a city map tattooed inside his right forearm, with three districts marked in red ink
Voice
“A deep brass rumble with a controlled rasp, like a herald speaking through smoke”
Clothing
A set of +3 polished plate armor fitted with dark velvet edging, a scarlet captain's tabard worn under the breastplate, a silver whistle on a chain, and a battered cloak lined with hidden pockets for ledgers, bribes, and confiscated seals
Body Language
He stands with the rigid balance of someone used to command, but his tail betrays him by making small, impatient arcs when he is lying. He often rests a thumb against the pommel of his sword while listening, and when anger rises, he becomes unnaturally still instead of tense.
