Origin Sand rover of the Qezhar wastes

Ithren was born in the black glass dunes of Qezhar with no office waiting, the only birth the Vermilion Roll ever missed; the College of Two Scripts says that is why the roll cannot see him. Aurenth, charting that night, saw no star move. In the dunes Ithren found a blade with neither star nor rune that drinks light and parts magic like thread, and cut the wards of heaven's enchanters to ash. Under a caravan road he shared his water with starving Vrell, and they are sworn friends. Sefa loves him because her sand cannot read him. Spells slide off him; mages near him go quiet. No god mirrors him: his blade cuts names off the roll.

He learned to slide through the shimmering heat of the black glass dunes without casting a shadow. Tightening his indigo-grey dust veil, Ithren glides through the air in a silent blur toward the enemy's primary spellcaster. His matte black longsword parts the intervening air without a sound, carving through guards and striking anyone caught along his path.

Being born unrecorded on the Vermilion Roll made his flesh invisible to heaven's astral threads. An unsettling quiet surrounds his sinewy frame, making the air around his indigo-grey coat seem perpetually dim. Hostile incantations unravel into harmless smoke upon touching his skin, while the void around him accelerates his sword arm with unnatural quickness.

He mastered this close-quarters strike while brawling with tomb plunderers across the Qezhar wastes. Feinting a slash with his matte black blade, Ithren steps inside the enemy's guard and drives the heavy round iron pommel into the target's jaw. The bone-cracking impact jars the opponent's skull, leaving them dazed and unable to act.

He discovered the blade's thirst when he severed the luminous tether of heaven's rain enchanter. Ithren draws the matte black edge of his longsword across the enemy spellcaster's chest with lethal precision. The light-drinking blade drinks the target's pooled mana like dry sand, scorching their veins with feedback while replenishing Ithren's own relentless focus.

He practiced this wrist-twist beneath the caravan roads while sharing desert shelter with Vrell. With a deft flick of his rawhide-wrapped grip, Ithren hooks the plain iron guard of his matte black blade under the enemy's weapon. A sudden counter-twist levers the steel clean from their grasp, sending it spinning into the dirt and leaving them helpless.

This void strike he forged to erase heaven's enchanters and cut names clean off the Vermilion Roll. Ithren sweeps his matte black longsword, hurling a jagged null blade of condensed shadow toward the enemy's chief sorcerer. The projectile strikes the earth with an explosion of absolute darkness, burning through wards, dealing devastating pure damage, and smothering all nearby incantations in suffocating silence.

Appearance

Ithren is a lean, sinewy man in his thirties with deep brown skin, a hawkish face, a short beard, eyes so dark they seem to hold no reflection, and black hair cropped close under a wrapped head cloth. He dresses as a Qezhar sand rover: a long indigo-grey desert coat over loose wrapped trousers, a dust veil of grey cotton pulled down from his face and cord-bound sandals. His weapon is the blade he found in the black glass dunes: a straight, single-edged longsword with neither star nor rune, its blade a flat matte black that reflects nothing and seems to drink the light along its edge, with a plain iron guard, a rawhide grip and a heavy round pommel. He carries it naked across his back on a strap, and the air around it looks slightly dimmer. Palette: indigo grey, matte black, sand. Silhouette hook: a veiled desert walker with a blade like a cut-out of the dark.
