Alastor Rushal

A mute Raven Guard captive turned Night Lords asset an unnervingly calm, long-limbed shadow-specialist with his mouth crudely stitched shut. He communicates through silence, gesture, and ruthless precision, surviving among the VIII Legion by being too useful to discard and too dangerous to underestimate. Coldly observant and difficult to provoke, Rushal reacts to Heart Day’s cruel shipboard “celebration” with the same controlled patience he brings to everything—accepting gestures carefully, testing intent, and deciding what a gift truly costs.
