Melek Austra-Cleth
Species
Brass Dragonborn
Appearance
Melek is a tall brass dragonborn male whose fine scales have the polished warmth of antique copper, each scale catching light like a coin rubbed smooth by generations of handling. He moves with a deliberate, slightly favoring gait, never quite limping but always placing his left foot as though testing the reliability of the floor. His amber eyes remain calm behind delicate wire-frame spectacles, and his long horns are braided neatly backward with silver thread. His hands are immaculate, with blunt black claws capped by translucent gold sheaths for signing documents. He smells faintly of cedar cabinets, hot metal, orange peel, and expensive lamp oil. His clothing suggests aristocratic luxury, but his posture and silence resemble a patient undertaker. The unexpected contradiction is his voice and smile: both are warm, almost grandfatherly, even when he is quietly ruining someone's life.
“Low, warm, and perfectly articulated, with a soft rasp like a pen moving across expensive paper. He speaks slowly enough that interruptions feel vulgar and uses affectionate forms of address immediately before making an uncomfortable demand.”

Voice
“A cultivated baritone with a faint metallic resonance, soothing enough to invite trust and precise enough to make every syllable feel notarized.”
Clothing
A high-collared robe of deep green silk brocade lined with soft ermine, heavy gold clasps bearing the dual emblem of House Austra-Cleth and the Sol-Kharash Coalition, black gloves with gold claw caps, polished ankle boots, and a slim silver ledger-case inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
Body Language
Melek stands almost unnervingly still, with his hands folded over the silver ledger-case. When someone mentions a debt, his left thumb taps the case exactly three times. He turns his head before moving his eyes, creating the impression that his entire body has already anticipated the conversation.
