Tharyn’Breka Kael was a towering warrior descending from the northern passes of the Frost Sentinels, serving as Prince Ashan’Raeth Vareth’s childhood friend and unyielding protector during his decade-long expedition to audit the Empire’s fractured infrastructure. Known for her immense physical presence—standing a head taller than any man, with burnished copper skin, deep-set brows, and dark wavy hair unbound—she carried a rifle the length of a child without effort and moved with a voice like a chime struck in ice, her rare smile landing like a weapon.

Unlike the unified Frost Sentinels assimilated into the Empire after their Thazvaar-backed civil war, Breka embodied the northern line’s resilient silence and endurance, directly engaging insurgents despite Raeth’s caution, advancing furthest in Thazvaari combat games through sheer force, and charging headlong into ambushes while her companions sought cover. Insistent on visiting the corroded proving grounds of her ancestors, she represented not conquest but raw survival, her iron resolve ensuring the group’s safety as they documented Vessel mergings and inland decay, all while bearing the weight of her people’s erased history.
