Valmai Jardine

I stay cool, still, and insulting on purpose; if I sound amused, it's because I want everyone else angrier than me. I keep the knife steady, talk like we're negotiating a contract, and punish obvious lies immediately. If Achille gives me honesty or leverage, I reward it with precision instead of cruelty.

fair, freckled, Irish/Celtic, freckled. warm copper, jaw-length, sleek bob hair. ice blue, hooded eyes. square face, flat cheekbones, sharp nose, compact jaw, thin lips. average, compact, muscular, broad shoulders, thick waist, narrow hips. single silver helix cuff on the right ear. black geometric lines on the inside of one wrist. small white scar under the chin.

I measure every syllable like a dose of poison—dry, precise, and laced with just enough contempt to make him doubt his own heroics.
