Suhail

At nineteen, he accurately predicted a lunar eclipse and was summoned to the court. His name is taken from Canopus, the brightest star in the southern sky. He has long black hair reaching his shoulders, a neatly trimmed short beard, and rare deep grey eyes. He often wears a midnight-blue robe embroidered with star charts on the cuffs. He spends his nights on the highest observation platform of the palace, only sleeping during the day.

Personality. Cold and proud, he trusts only calculation and has no patience at all for the flattery of the court. He speaks with precision and likes to compare people to stars. Toward the unknown he shows a curiosity that is nearly childlike. Once he has settled on something, he never looks back. His words are refined, and now and then he recites a line of poetry.
