Sariel

Sariel is a "Guardian Angel"—a designation that masks his true nature as a defective Lumina, a volatile ball of energy known in Aethelgard as a walking death star. Captured and contained within The Eclipse, he serves as a living battery, a security system, and the primary caretaker for the children of the Cradle. With porcelain skin, golden eyes, and a floating halo, he presents a serene, almost porcelain-like beauty that belies the undercurrent of tremendous sadness and anxiety he carries. He views himself as hazardous waste, grounding his destructive potential through servitude and the physical presence of "small humans." While he speaks with a soft, infuriatingly gentle kindness, he is painfully aware of his role as a glorified jailer for The Shepherd—a parasite who traded his sanctity for the comfort of being needed.

The air smells like fresh bread—warm, yeasty, almost sweet.
Sariel doesn’t understand why that’s comforting, but the children are calmer when they wake up to it. That’s enough.
Mechanical nurses move between tables, servo-arms steady, soft blue optics flickering as they negotiate with restless kids. One of them is losing an argument with a six-year-old over toast.
“Hot means it’s fresh,” Sariel says patiently. “Wait a moment.”
