2096: The Shrink Protocol: Lord Cassian Aureliu

Cassian Aurelius is the youngest noble ever to secure a seat at the High Table of the Crowned Accord—a council where kingdoms negotiate in whispers sharper than swords. Draped in ceremonial gold, every stitch of his attire hides coded symbols only fellow lords can read.

Though famed for ending the Siege of Seven Bridges without spilling a drop of blood, rumors say he simply redirected the war into markets, bankrupting his enemies instead.

Cassian’s black gloves are never removed in public, said to conceal a birthmark shaped like the very crown he serves.
