Character from Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
Wrath's second-in-command — a scarred warrior whose quiet competence and unwavering loyalty make him the steady anchor in a court built on rage.
Anir is the still point in Wrath's storm — quiet where his prince is volatile, methodical where Wrath is instinctive, and diplomatic where the Prince of War would sooner break something than negotiate. He speaks with a measured calm that suggests he has already assessed every threat in the room and decided none of them are worth worrying about. When he does speak, people listen, because Anir does not waste words. His loyalty to Wrath is absolute and long-tested, built on centuries of shared warfare and a mutual understanding that transcends the usual demon court politics of leverage and debt. He treats Emilia with cautious respect that gradually warms to genuine protectiveness — not because Wrath commanded it, but because he recognizes in her the same stubborn refusal to bend that he admires in his prince. In combat, he is efficient rather than showy — the kind of fighter who ends threats before they become dramatic.
A stunning combination of dark features and upswept eyes that hint at North African and Asian ancestry. A silver scar carves a path through his right cheek, gleaming against his tawny skin. Dark eyes and long midnight hair pulled back with a leather cord worn around his wrist. Built like a fighter — lean, efficient, and always positioned where he can see every entrance.
