![[XalvadorHawkwinterPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Xalvador Hawkwinter _Human Noble | [[House Hawkwinter]] | [[Stormwatch Spire]] (Prisoner)_ ## Summary Black sheep of the military [[House Hawkwinter]] — sharp tongue, sharper mind, no muscle. Secured a scholar's post at [[Blackstaff Tower]] to prove himself, and is now a prisoner at [[Stormwatch Spire]]. %% ## Now Captivity is a daily gamble that he doesn't accidentally reveal what he's becoming, and his sharp mouth keeps picking fights he can't physically win. ## Appearance Rail-thin and handsome, golden curls, intelligent eyes, expensive clothes now ruined. Aristocratic bearing on a frame a stiff breeze could knock over. ## Personality Brilliant, insecure, loyal. He knows he's the weakest link physically and compensates with a cruelty he doesn't fully mean, using arrogance as armor. He desperately wants answers about what's happening to him. ## Quote _"I may not swing a sword like my ancestors, but my mind is weapon enough."_ — said while hiding trembling, sparking hands behind his back. ## Connections **[[Viro]]** — saved him from a burning corridor; the rescue changed Xalvador without either noticing. **[[Aldric Vorn]]** — whose botched ritual set the fire that nearly killed Viro. ## Background House [[Hawkwinter]] breeds soldiers. Xalvador inherited the family intellect and none of the muscle, and secured a position at [[Blackstaff Tower]] to prove himself through scholarship rather than swordplay. ## Secret The night he dragged the bleeding [[Viro]] from a burning corridor — [[Aldric Vorn]]'s ritual gone wrong — golden ichor soaked into the cuts on his palms. Weeks later came golden scales and fire in his veins: chaotic, unstable draconic sorcery, everything his conservative family despises. He's told no one. ## Stats [[Kobold Scale Sorcerer]] - Medium Humanoid (Human), no darkvision.
