Seradiel, the Hollow Wing

Titles:

  • The Blinding Wing
  • The Warden of Light Unforgiven
  • Seradiel of the Last Benediction

Appearance:

  • Towering, luminous form—silver-skinned, eyes like glass pearls filled with lightning.
  • His wings are immense but incomplete: bone and gold filigree without feathers, like ruined stained glass windows. They flicker with refracted light.
  • Carries a glaive or staff made of prism-split crystal that hums when near humans.
  • When seen from the corner of the eye, his shape resembles a shattered statue remade from light.

Nature & Origin:

  • A former guardian-seraph, Seradiel fled the mortal realm with the fae refugees at the time of the Great Flood.
  • He considers his banishment a divine betrayal. Humanity was given the world, but squandered it.
  • In Faylinn, he aligned himself with Queen Elidore, seeing in her courts a reflection of the order and silence heaven failed to maintain.

Personality:

  • Speaks in soft, symmetrical phrases—every word precisely chosen.
  • Harbours cold fury beneath his stillness. Loathes human defilement of divine beauty.
  • Believes emotion is a corruption and pity is a weakness.
  • Does not eat, sleep, or rest—only watches, forever vigilant.

Role in the Pale Country:

  • Keeper of the Mirror Gates, which shimmer at the realm’s borders. No one enters without passing under his gaze.
  • Conducts Ritual Expulsions—banishing those whose dreams grow too loud, whose longing disturbs the eternal light.
  • Known to hunt down humans who’ve trespassed too often into Faylinn through art, song, or unguarded grief.

FDG Case Rumours:

  • A painter in Florence went blind after completing a portrait he said came to him “on wings of light.” The figure in the painting weeps light from broken eyes.
  • In 1897, an entire choir vanished in silence mid-performance in Vienna. Only their robes were found, folded neatly in a spiral. Seradiel’s symbol—a burned ring of ash and quartz—was left behind.
