Lich
Appearance
Xandathariel is a haunting fusion of skeletal remains and exquisite artifice. Rather than rotting flesh, his bones are meticulously plated in hammered 24-karat gold and etched with delicate floral filigree. His ribcage acts as a birdcage for a clockwork nightingale that chirps when he is agitated. He possesses a single, moist, organic blue eye that darts frantically in a golden socket, while the other is a faceted sapphire. He moves with a rhythmic, clicking grace, accompanied by the faint smell of old parchment and expensive myrrh. Despite his terrifying nature, he carries an aura of tragic, faded nobility.
“His voice sounds like the rustling of dry leaves against a gravestone, punctuated by the metallic click of his silver jaw. He uses archaic formal titles and speaks with a melodic, rhythmic cadence.”

Stiff and aristocratic, he often tilts his head to the side to listen to the clockwork bird in his chest.
