Kaelen Steel-Tooth is a broad, crimson-scaled half-dragon whose movements have the measured rhythm of a piston stroke. His soot-stained horns curl close to his skull, their ridges polished smooth where his fingertips worry them during negotiations. Scorched basalt plate wraps his torso in overlapping slabs, each one fitted with brass pressure gauges, copper tubes, and tiny windows glowing with ember-red light. His scales are rough around the shoulders from years of furnace dust, while the scales of his hands remain strangely clean, scrubbed until they shine like lacquer. He leaves behind the impression of a walking foundry, hot metal, bitter smoke, and the faint vibration of machinery beneath the floor. The unexpected gentleness of his careful hands contrasts sharply with the things he orders those hands to build.
