Warlord from the Past
He's bundled in furs, and has several weeks' growth of stubble, if not more, on his chin. None of that, however, conceals the natural grace of his physique or his startlingly bright green eyes. The rest of his hair is a shaggy dark mane held back by a thong. He throws open the door and strides in, but when he sees he's not where he was expecting, he frowns. And nearly growls. He returns to the door, and seeing only the porch and the Mansion grounds beyond it, he slams it shut again.
"What has that Hayllian whore done now?" he demands. He doesn't need to call in his Jewels as he was wearing his Red pendant under the furs all along anyway. "Where is everyone?"
((Meet Jared, a Red-Jewelled Warlord from Anne Bishop's The Invisible Ring, a prequel to the Black Jewels Trilogy. For people who haven't read beyond the trilogy, he's the friend of Daemon's who'd served the Gray Lady and sent the book that Daemon found at the Keep. And he's rightfully in a bad mood right now, but he's nowhere near as bad as the Warlord Princes. He just was hoping to see his Lady and got stolen here.))
