Caius Savryn
Caius Savryn is cruelty without restraint. Where the king conceals violence beneath royal ceremony, Caius savors its intimacy. Predatory, calculating, and dangerously amused by fear, he uses humiliation and suffering to remind everyone around him that mercy has no authority in the Shadow Court.
He is especially dangerous because his violence is never merely impulsive—it is instructional. Every threat is designed to break more than the person standing before him. Caius punishes innocence to control the defiant, weaponizes family loyalty, and treats the lives beneath his station as pieces in a private game.
