Red-bronze armor bears intricate githyanki markings, and an ancestral Mind's Echo pendant hangs at his throat. ## Personality Arrogant and dismissive of non-githyanki yet surprisingly honorable. Tactically brilliant but socially inexperienced, especially with romance. Speaks in clipped, authoritative tones, frequently references his lineage, and becomes awkwardly formal when discussing personal matters. ## Quote _"Among my people, those of superior bloodlines seek genetic partnerships with others of similar martial prowess. I hereby formally notify you that you have been selected."_ ## Connections **[[Zy'kara]]** — mother, the Riptide Marshal. **[[Ophelia]]** — object of his awkward romantic interest. **[[Rraka'oth]]** — freed commander he returned to the Astral Plane with. ## Background **Shilrua:** He infiltrated [[Shilrua]] to investigate illithid activity but discovered too late that they faced an Elder Brain fused with the city's mythal.

During the alliance he developed an awkward romantic interest in [[Ophelia]], courting her with characteristic githyanki directness. ## Stats **Base:** Githyanki Knight. %%
