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.
