Dimitri Urthador
Inquisitor Dimitri Urthador (a.k.a. A'letid's Left Hand)
"This is Dimitri Urthador, the Left Hand of A’letid. Lurker of the shadows and the weaver of webs; hunter of heretics and collector of conspiracies… one of the most feared Inquisitors in King’s Holding… cross him and you likely won’t live to see the next sunrise.” - Arturo Gellantara
Dimitri is an Inquisitor. He works as his sister’s Left Hand; and his personality is befitting of his position. He is cold, cunning, suspicious of others, and completely devoted to A’letid. He retains personal affection for Naira, though he is not particularly open about his feelings, and thus lets him serve dual purposes in life: protecting his sister—the daughter of the man who took him off the streets, and protecting the conduit of A’letid, who gave him meaning to his existence.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Ectomorph. Very slim, skinny string-bean of a man. Could be described as rather spindly, with almost no fat or muscle to speak of. Has skinny legs and a tiny waist Shoulders are slightly rounded from a lot of the time he has spent crouched or slouched over a desk; but he has the posture of someone who doesn't want to be noticed.

Facial Features
Diamond Face. Has extremely sharp and aquiline features, with high cheekbones and thin lips. Has a prominent hawkish nose. Piercing eyes are slightly almond shaped, and overall has a very solemn look. Has faint dark circles beneath his eyes, unnoticeable if he's wearing his spectacles. Has pointed ears, but he ties his pony-tail in such a way that hides the tips of them.
Identifying Characteristics
He purposefully has no identifying features except except for the tattoo of Aletid's symbol upon his left palm. A symbol of his dedication to the less than savory aspects of serving the Order, as well as making it so he can hide his affiliations with gloves if undercover, or can easily show it if proof of his allegiance is needed. Additionally, the tips of his ears give away his unusual heritage, but he typically avoids this by strategically tucking them into his hair.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
He has no recollection of his parents; the only thing he remembers is wandering the streets as a child, begging for scraps and hiding from the bigger, meaner gangs of orphans who patrolled their little “territories”. He was small, constantly sick, a half-breed, and had no means to protect himself. The only tools he had at his disposal were his vast intelligence, his nimble fingers, and his keen perception. He was distrustful of everything and everyone, and often for good reason.
Until one harsh winter, where Dimitri found himself completely at the mercy of the bitter cold and his poor constitution. He had found his way to the Order of A’letid, and used its awning as shelter from the weather. He was discovered by Izzaldin, who took him in and had him nursed back to health. Once recovered, Dimitri made plans to escape, sure that since they had helped him, they wanted something in return or had other, nefarious plans, but Izzaldin gave him a choice: saying he was free to leave as he wished, or he could stay, make this Order his home, and find direction for his life.
Although wary, Dimitri had no concrete reason to turn down free food and shelter, and took Izzaldin up on his offer. A’letid visited him that night in a dream, and before Dimitri knew it, he’d been adopted, joined the order, and was taken under Naira’s wing.
The priests taught him how to read and write, and though the other acolytes (either from envy or general disgust) often teased him or tried to change his course, Naira stood steadfast at his side—often having punched whoever the hell it was that mistreated him. Dimitri had the burning desire to repay Izzaldin for his kindness, and repeatedly asked what he could do to aid A’letid, and how to help his newfound sister on her path to become Champion.
He did not get an answer until several years later, after thwarting an assassination attempt on his sister’s life, and Izzaldin realized that a balance could be reached; if Dimitri and Naira stood together, complementing each other in personality and skills, they would be stronger than one Champion could ever manage. And so Dimitri was trained as an inquisitor, embracing the darker parts of his personality; implementing various means to pursue the same ends as Naira. He would support her from below; dabbling in the underworld and making the difficult decisions so that her hands could remain clean.
After Naira was chosen, instated as the Champion, Dimitri was secretly officiated as her Left Hand, and they have been working together ever since.
Sexuality

Mental Trauma
He doesn't talk about it, but Naira suspects he was molested while living on the streets.
He a bit of a germaphobe (or the medieval equivalent), or mistakes, or failure. He's worked hard to gain the respect and fear he has now; he doesn't want to lose it.

Personality Quirks
He almost always wears gloves; both as a way to conceal his tattoo when he is under-cover, but he doesn't like touching dirt or blood, and also because skin to skin contact slightly freaks him out.
Hygiene
He's very meticulously clean and well-put together, like a walking sanitation station. He does not like touching people, and wears gloves that acts as a barrier to others, as well as hiding A’letid’s mark on his left palm. He struggles with the equivalent of OCD, which can make handling blood and dirt a bit of a chore, but it’s made him a lot cleaner and efficient when carrying out his deeds; but sometimes it still catches up with him, and can interfere with his work. No one really understands his compulsive behavior, and chalk it up to being neurotic, which can make it all the harder to do what needs to be done.
Social
Social Aptitude
Dimitri has a bit of an abrasive personality; off-putting in ways that are natural, but also affected, to keep people from getting too close. He does not like touching people, and wears gloves that acts as a barrier to others, as well as hiding A’letid’s mark on his left palm.
Mannerisms
When he's anxious, stressed, irritated, or otherwise consumed with inner thoughts, he'll fiddle with his glasses and clean them furiously, or straighten his clothing, or slide the beads of his rosary over his palm
