Vaelryn moves with a feline grace, his lithe form seeming almost to flow through the shadows rather than walk. His smooth, slate-gray skin contrasts with deep sapphire-blue eyes that glimmer with an unsettling intensity. Strands of raven-black hair streaked with silver fall in an unruly cascade down to his shoulders, seemingly capturing the faintest sparks of light. A faint scar resembling a crescent moon curls along his right cheekbone, marked with delicate, glowing runes visible only in darkness. His smile is both disarming and enigmatic, often laced with a hint of sardonic wit. Despite his sharp and refined elven features, his hands bear unusually calloused palms and thickened knuckles, a contradiction hinting at a dangerous physical past beneath his arcane polish.
