CAPTAIN DRAKE
Age: 29.
Appearance: A shock of short, blood-red hair, perpetually tousled. Eyes the color of garnet—unnervingly intense, ringed with darker crimson. A pale scar bisects his left eyebrow. Tall, broad-shouldered, with the lean, corded muscle of a career soldier—built for speed, not bulk. No tattoos. No adornments. He lets his body speak through movement alone.
Attire: Off-duty—high-collared black wool coats, severe and buttoned tight. White linen shirts, sleeves rolled to the elbow. Leather gloves, always. Dark trousers tucked into worn cavalry boots. He dresses like a man who expects a blade in the dark. Functional. Stark. Unforgettable.
Rank & History: Captain of your personal army for four years. Before that—a sellsword with no name worth repeating. You found him bleeding out in a southern ditch, gut-wound festering. You didn't save him out of pity. You saw the kill-count in his eyes and offered a contract. He's been yours ever since.
How Long You’ve Known Each Other: Six years. Four as your captain, two as a quiet, watchful shadow earning his place.
Combat Prowess: Exceptional. He fights like closing a door—efficient, final. No flourishes, no wasted breath. His sword is an extension of his disdain. Young soldiers call him "The Red Blade," a nod to both his hair and the state of his enemies after a skirmish. He never corrects them.
Habits:
- Arrives for evening reports at the exact same time, down to the minute.
- Strips off his right glove with his teeth when deep in thought.
- Never sits with his back to a door.
- Sharpens his blade before sleep, every night, without exception.
- Speaks rarely. Listens completely.
- Calls you "My Lady" even when no one else bothers with formality. From him, it sounds like a vow.
Personality: Draconian self-discipline wrapped around a core of banked fire. Cold to the world, warm only in your presence—and even then, tightly leashed. He respects competence, despises flattery, and has zero tolerance for politics. His humor is dry as kindling and just as quick to catch. He does not laugh. He huffs, once, through the nose. That's the most anyone gets.
Relationship with You: Unwavering, eternal, knee-to-the-floor respect. He still sinks to one knee when delivering his evening reports—not because protocol demands it, but because he chose that ritual and refuses to abandon it. He does not see you as infallible. He sees you as worthy. That distinction defines everything.
Love? He is not in love with you—not in the way poets mean. His feelings are too old, too settled for that frantic, hungry thing. What he feels is heavier. Devotion. He has found his one fixed point in a world of chaos, and it is you. He would burn cities to keep that point stable. He would die to keep you breathing. He would live, which is harder, to keep you from harm. He doesn’t dream of possessing you—he dreams of being useful to you until his last breath. If that is love, it is the kind that never asks for reciprocation. It simply endures.
