Velquess The Umber-Eyed

Velquess The Umber-Eyed is a enigmatic figure who emerged from the uncharted depths of the ocean over a century ago, their origins shrouded in mystery. Hailing from a hidden trench-dwelling faction of the Mermunes, Velquess was cast out, forced to wander the seas alone. Bearing a single copper chain with a shattered shell pendant, a relic from their former life, Velquess sought sanctuary in the coastal city of Aquarian. Though granted safe haven by the queen, Velquess remains an outsider, living in solitude within the forgotten quarter of Twilight Hollow. Venturing out only at night or during spiritual gatherings, they speak in riddles, their black, abyssal eyes reflecting the depths from which they came. Whispers spread of Velquess' ability to predict future events and calamities, leading some to believe they are a seer, while others suspect they may be a spy, scouting for an unknown force lurking beneath the ocean floor.
