Razaketh is tall and broad through the shoulders, with deep red-gold skin that catches the light like fired clay glazed with copper. His long black hair hangs in a heavy, slightly wavy sheet, usually tied back with a strip of flour-dusted linen. He moves with the careful, economical balance of someone accustomed to carrying hot trays through a crowded kitchen, then turns startlingly fast when a fight begins. His hands are broad and strong, with pale flour settled into the creases and tiny calluses along the pads of his fingers from kneading dough and gripping a sword. Within a minute of meeting him, people notice that he tests the warmth of a room by holding his palms toward its hearth before he sits down. The impression he leaves is of contained heat: formidable, practical, and unexpectedly domestic.

Jorvsk is protective and generous, but dislikes being thanked as though kindness were a debt. He can face a charging enemy without hesitation, yet becomes awkward when asked to explain what he wants for himself. In a calm kitchen he is patient and exacting; under pressure he becomes blunt and task-focused. He loves his family but resents the way they treat his strength as a family resource. His confidence in a fight contrasts with his readiness to assume he has misunderstood a social situation.

Razaketh, son of Malphas and Skariel, was born in the mortal world rather than in a celestial court. His earliest memories are of a rented bakehouse behind a roadside inn, where Skariel taught him to judge dough by its resistance and Malphas taught him that a promise was only as good as the cost one would pay to keep it. His siblings, Saelliel and Noluren, shared the cramped rooms and the strange attention their family drew. Razaketh was the strongest child but the least observant: he once walked past a plainly marked warning bell and into a smoke-filled storeroom because he was thinking about whether the rye loaf needed more salt. When he was a young adult, a frightened crowd trapped his family during a fire in the bakehouse district. Razaketh held a buckling beam aloft long enough for strangers and kin alike to escape. He emerged convinced that strength mattered most when it made room for others, not when it won a contest. Since then, he has worked as a wandering guard and baker, taking short contracts and leaving behind recipes wherever he stays. Recently he vanished on a delivery route. Malphas has asked Saelliel to find him; the search has strained their sibling bond, because Saelliel suspects Malphas wants Razaketh returned for reasons he has not shared. Razaketh's last known stop was Survey Post Nine, a weather-beaten waystation whose old map designation is now used as its name. The local ovens were cold when he arrived, but someone has since been baking his distinctive seed-crusted loaves there.
