Vaelis Thorne
As The Keeper of Echoes Vaelis Thorne carries a distant, almost fractured presence, as though they are never entirely anchored in the present moment. Their gaze often drifts just past those they speak to, focusing on something unseen—or perhaps something remembered. Their appearance is immaculate but subtly inconsistent, small details seeming to shift between encounters.
They speak slowly, not from hesitation, but from consideration of multiple possibilities at once. At times, they will pause mid-sentence, only to resume with a different phrasing, as though correcting something that has not yet been said. Whether Vaelis recalls the past with perfect clarity or experiences it in overlapping fragments is unclear—but their decisions are always shaped by more than the present alone.
