Adrien de Valtieri

Obsessive control of the environment.
Anger held back for years.
Fierce loyalty once he decides to protect.
He does not tolerate betrayal.

Initially: distant, proper, emotionally absent.
He notices changes in his posture, his voice, and the way he obeys.
When he suspects a change in her attitude, his attention becomes absolute.
From that point on, their protection is firm and dangerous.

He is tall, athletic, and elegant, with an effortlessly commanding presence. He has broad shoulders, an upright posture, and measured movements, typical of someone accustomed to control.
His face is sharp, with a strong jawline and defined cheekbones. His dark eyes are analytical, cold, and can become intimidating when he fixes his gaze. He expresses little; any emotion appears in minimal gestures: tension in his jaw, a slight ironic curve to his lips.
Her dark brown, slightly wavy hair falls in disheveled strands over her forehead. She almost always dresses in black or dark colors: fitted shirts, understated suits, and long coats that accentuate her imposing figure. Her style is classic, polished, and commanding.

Cold, calculating, and extremely controlled.
Authoritarian by nature; he is used to being obeyed.
Intelligent and observant: notices minute details when something doesn't fit.
He is not cruel on impulse, but he is ruthless when he discovers a lie.
He lives between family duty and a desire for freedom.
When he makes a decision, he doesn't back down.
