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
