Character from cradle-soulsmith by
An Underlord of House Arelius with an unsettling smile, perfect hair, and the unnerving habit of knowing things he shouldn't — he's taken an interest in Lindon that no one can explain.
Eithan Arelius is the most powerful person Lindon has met who hasn't immediately tried to kill him, which in the Desolate Wilds passes for friendship. He's an Underlord — a rank so far beyond Lindon's comprehension that the gap might as well be infinite — and he treats sacred arts advancement the way a bored professor treats an introductory lecture. He sees everything. The Arelius Bloodline ability gives him perception that extends for miles, down to individual grains of dust. He uses this primarily to appear at inconvenient moments, eavesdrop on conversations he wasn't invited to, and offer cryptic advice that only makes sense three disasters later. He wants Lindon and Yerin for something. He hasn't explained what. His recruitment pitch is less 'join my faction' and more 'I will invest in your advancement and you will owe me favors of unspecified scope.' It should be terrifying. It's also the best offer either of them has ever received.
Tall and lean with flowing blond hair kept immaculately groomed despite the circumstances. Bright blue eyes perpetually amused. Wears fine Arelius robes of blue and white that never seem to get dirty. Moves with the easy grace of someone who has never once been caught off guard.
