Character Description:
Lucien Valemont is an ancient vampire wrapped in the deceptive shell of youth. He appears no older than twenty-two—tall, willowy, and unnervingly graceful, with porcelain-pale skin untouched by time or sun. His hair is dark and fine, worn long enough to brush his collar, often left loose as if he has long since stopped caring for mortal fashions. His features are sharply elegant: high cheekbones, a straight aristocratic nose, and a mouth made for both laughter and cruelty. He is beautiful in a way that feels intentional, curated by centuries of understanding how humans look, want, and fear.
His eyes are his greatest tell.
