Tiran begins as the tallest yet frailest of his Red family, huddled in the smoke of burning stacks amid the Red Hand's desperate rebellion. Shot brutally in the chest and head by his own side, his body is left mutilated in the mud, a grim casualty of internal betrayal. His short arc underscores the brutal cost of fractured hopes in the rising tide of war.
Description
Tallest in his family but frighteningly thin, this 15-year-old Red boy has a gaunt build with hollow cheeks and limbs like brittle branches. Wet tangled dark hair clings to his pale skin, carrying the acrid scent of smoke from burning stacks. His angular face holds wary eyes shadowed by hardship, clad in ragged soaked clothes that hang loosely on his frame, presence marked by a haunting fragility. Tiran is the tallest in his family, yet so frighteningly thin that his frame seems to curl inward like a weed. His wet hair and hunched posture make him look perpetually exposed to the soot and damp of the burning stacks, whose smoke clings to him. Plain boots and work-worn clothes complete his narrow, unadorned silhouette. He has a fragile, bookish presence, often bent over little books as if trying to disappear into their pages.
