Introduction
"Balefire burning low
I live in the dusk for now
Until called again"
A duty to keep going, which is both reluctant and fanatical at the same time - depending on the moment, even though he is done with this world and is aware no one will thank him for protecting it but also aware history and his masters will let his soul burn for not is The Raven.
Description
Like many Fae The Raven can take different forms but unlike many Fae The Raven has spent so much time on Earth Realm that he prefers to stick to his Earthly appearance even in The Otherplace. He appears as a tall, reasonably built Human male who for the most part wears his hair long. He tends to hide his eyes wherever possible for reasons unknown. The Raven is many things, above all, and before all he is a protector having cut his teeth in Fae life and pageant as an Edge Walker whose role was simply to defend the edges from bad things, and very bad things (as he would say). It was during the War of the Dreaming and after the death of the Lord of Dwarves that The Raven finally ascended through the Fae ranks first becoming a Captain, and then a General for The Treaty and then after the war being elevated by the God-Emperor himself to be Kingship - mastery of his own Kingdom was never aspirational for The Raven and is clear that some reluctance existed for this new role. The Raven is never referred to as "His Highness" as is his right preferring simply "Lord", "General", or "Your Grace" if a formality must be adhered to (a term usually associated with Duke's not Kings). The Raven never formed a house, instead, his controlling faction is a host. A Warband, an army loyal to the God-Emperor which specializes in exploration and rebel hunting. The Raven personally leads the 51st Rangers, a sub division of The Host. The insignia of the 51st is a simple Square on black.
It is important to note that for the majority of their existance The Fox and The Raven operated as a single entity spanning Earth Realm (The Raven) and The Otherplace (THe Fox) - they were joined Fae, a type of symbiatic relationship difficult to describe to non-Fae where two entities are so close within the Fae hive mind that they are for all intents and purposes a single individual.
