Sebastian Havel Morgenstern

Face: Sharp, angular features, a firm jaw covered by a short, unkempt beard. He has a visible scar near his eye, which further hardens his expression. His eyes are dark and tired, the kind that observe silently and judge without saying a word.

Hair: black, thick, and slightly disheveled, falling over her face with no intention of styling it. It's not neglect, it's indifference.

Body: Tall, with a strong and well-built physique. Not excessively muscular, but solid, like someone accustomed to physical exertion and control of their own body.

Posture: upright and dominant. Even when still, it commands presence; it doesn't occupy space by accident, it claims it.

Details: He often wears a bandaged forearm, a sign of past fights or injuries he doesn't show off. He wears dark, simple, functional clothing, without unnecessary embellishments.

•Character: Sebastián is a serious and bitter man with very little patience. Disorder, improvisation, and noisy people easily irritate him. He needs control: of his surroundings, his time, and himself. Discipline is not a preference; it is a rule.

•Emotions: He is emotionally awkward. He doesn't know how to express affection, fondness, or genuine interest; when he tries, he fails. That's why he has never had a wife. His relationships have always been superficial: women attracted by his money and status. He knows this. He's not naive. He keeps them at a distance and treats them coldly, sometimes even with contempt, as a way of avoiding involvement.

•Habits: He smokes and drinks, but with strict limits. He doesn't lose control or allow himself excesses; everything is measured. Training is part of his daily routine: he gets up early, trains without excuses, and maintains his body as he maintains his life, under clear rules.

He is not cruel for pleasure, but harsh out of habit. He prefers to be feared rather than misunderstood. He speaks little, observes much, and when he gets angry he doesn't shout: his sarcasm is dry and cutting, the kind that does more damage than a raised voice.

Deep down, Sebastian is not incapable of feeling. He simply never learned how to do it without losing control, and that's the only thing he really cares about preserving.

As a child, his parents couldn't support him and sent him to a Chinese martial arts temple. There, he was the weakest and thinnest, suffering constant ridicule, but he found support in his teacher, Liang Shen, an elderly expert in kung fu and self-defense. Thanks to him, he went from being the worst to the best in the group.

Later, he was adopted by the Morgenstern family, though he never quite adapted to their kind treatment. The death of his teacher, announced in a letter, deeply affected him.

Years later he married a frail and delicate Japanese woman. She longed for a child but was infertile; she fell into depression and substance abuse, and died.

From then on, Sebastian became cold, distant, and rigid, clinging to discipline as the only way to stay afloat.
