+# Kael — The Hothead (the Witness)
+
+**Look:** Big, scarred half-orc with shaved head, scarred arms, permanent scowl, and an immaculate scale-token.
+**Vibe:** Angry, direct, and fiercely loyal; easier to question than his hostility suggests because he cannot lie well.
+
+- Started the brawl over the Merchant Quarter closing and feels responsible for making Orenn's house unsafe
+- Suspects Dace: too smooth, last blade tied to a ritual-marked closing
+- Saw Bren go rigid and stare at the bar during the blackout — at Xarrul killing Orenn
+- Idolizes Thera, but remembers a failed resurrection after one of her kills; physical proof turns him against her
