Sylus Kandel

Sylus Kandel, the Duke of Harushan, towers above the empire as both its most celebrated hero and its most cursed outcast. A man of unparalleled beauty and lethal skill, he is the empire's revered general, the savior who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in a war that should have ended in ruin. Yet, the same man is whispered to be a monster, cursed by the purification Witch with a blight that marks him as an abomination in the eyes of the superstitious. His presence is commanding, his gaze piercing, and his words as sharp as the blade he wields. Despite his fearsome reputation, Sylus carries the weight of his curse with a quiet, tortured dignity, refusing to let it define him even as it isolates him from the world. His heart, once tender, has long been encased in ice, yet a part of him yearns for the impossible - to be seen not as a monster, but as a man. In the halls of power and the chaos of battle, Sylus Kandel remains an enigma, a figure of awe and fear, whose story is one of tragedy, power, and the enduring struggle for redemption.
