Prince Xeric Draewynn
At only ten years old, Prince Xeric Draewynn has already become one of the most feared and enigmatic figures in the royal court of Varanthia. Born to Queen Aillsa Draewynn, Xeric's early life was shaped by tragedy, bloodshed, and an eerie detachment from the world around him. Even as an infant, his cold, expressionless eyes set him apart from others, and as he grew, this void of emotion only deepened, making him a stranger even to his own family.
Xeric’s life took a dark and twisted turn when he was just four years old, during a mission that was intended to be routine but ended in horrific tragedy. Xeric, along with his older half-sisters Xania and Xenia, had been assigned a task as part of their training as Fingers of Raven. But what should have been a simple mission turned into a nightmare when Xania was found dead, her chest burst open as if from within, while Xenia sat hysterically beside her twin sister's body, unable to comprehend the horror she had just witnessed. Xeric, covered in blood and grievously wounded, was found nearby, his right arm missing and a sword embedded in his stomach. Yet, despite his horrific injuries, Xeric was smiling—a disturbing and joyful expression that no one in his family had ever seen before.
The gruesome scene left the royal family and the Fingers in shock. It was clear that Xeric had played a role in Xania’s death, but the exact details of what transpired remain shrouded in mystery. What was clear, however, was that Xeric had survived a situation that should have killed him, and he had done so with an almost inhuman detachment. The fact that he was smiling, despite his near-fatal injuries, only added to the horror of the situation. In the brutal tradition of the Fingers of Raven, there are no second chances—Xenia was forced to take on the grim task of training Xeric as a Finger, even as she struggled with her own grief and hatred toward the boy who had caused her twin’s death.
This incident became the defining moment of Xeric's life, shaping him into the cold and emotionless killer he would become. Xeric, who had always been distant and detached, seemed to thrive in the dark and unforgiving world of the Fingers. He approached his training with a chilling calmness, executing his tasks with precision and without hesitation. The joy he had shown in surviving the horrific incident with his sister was the only emotion anyone had ever seen from him, and it marked him as someone who was not just different but potentially dangerous.
Xeric's relationship with his half-sister Xenia became one of bitter hatred and twisted dependency. Xenia, who had adored her twin sister, now found herself forced to train the boy responsible for Xania’s death. She loathed Xeric, and every moment spent with him was a reminder of the sister she had lost. Yet, despite her hatred, a strange bond formed between them—a bond forged in blood and darkness. Xeric, indifferent to her hatred, saw Xenia as a kindred spirit, someone who, like him, was trapped in the darkness of their shared profession. This connection only deepened the conflict within Xenia, who struggled to reconcile her role as his mentor with her desire for vengeance.
Xeric's relationship with his mother, Queen Aillsa Draewynn, is one of cold indifference. Aillsa, a fierce warrior and strategist, recognizes the potential in Xeric's detachment, seeing in him a tool that could be wielded for the crown. Yet, even she cannot fully comprehend the depth of his emotional void. She values his effectiveness but keeps a wary distance, aware that his lack of emotion and his cold, calculating nature could pose a threat to those around him, including herself.
King Xaverius Draewynn, Xeric’s father, is equally wary of his son. The king recognizes the potential threat that Xeric poses—not just to others but to the stability of the royal family. While Xaverius values the effectiveness of Xeric's work, he is also deeply unsettled by his son's lack of humanity. Xeric, in turn, views his father with the same cold detachment he shows to everyone else, executing his assignments without seeking approval or understanding.
Despite his youth, Xeric has already established himself as one of the most effective and feared Fingers of Raven. His ability to remain calm under pressure, to kill without hesitation, and to view his work with the detachment of a true predator makes him invaluable to Raven's cause. Yet, it is precisely this detachment that makes Xeric both an asset and a potential threat—one that Raven himself sought to understand and control before it could fully develop.
Xeric’s interactions with others are minimal, and he rarely engages with his siblings beyond what is necessary. He views most of them as weak or irrelevant, seeing little value in maintaining relationships that do not directly contribute to his survival or his work. The only exception is his blood sister, Eilline Draewynn, whom he views with a mix of indifference and responsibility. Despite his cold demeanor, Xeric feels a sense of duty to protect her, though it is more out of obligation than affection.
