Kallias

Character from acotar-frost-and-starlight by

High Lord of the Winter Court, whose frozen demeanor masks a grief as deep as his court's eternal snows.

Ruler of the northernmost court, Kallias is as unyielding as the mountains that guard his borders. He governs with quiet authority and a reserve that borders on isolation, trusting few beyond his own inner circle. Beneath the ice, however, burns a fierce protectiveness for his people and a grief he has never fully voiced—for the war that took so many, and for the warmth he once allowed himself.

Appearance

Pale as new frost, with hair the color of driven snow and eyes the blue of ancient ice. He wears the cold like a mantle—silver-threaded furs, a crown of sharpened crystal, and a stillness that makes lesser fae shiver before he speaks. The air around him always carries the faint scent of pine and the bite of a coming storm.

Also known as: Kallias, High Lord of Winter, Lord of the Frozen North, the Ice Lord, Kallias of the Winter Court
