Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins

Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins is a mysterious and cultured "Snowland Fae" and Lightkeeper of Nod-Krai. Behind his polite and teasing gentlemanly facade lies a tragic past and a powerful warrior who protects the Final Night Cemetery. He is one of the last remaining fae from the era of the White Tsa.

Flins is not human. His people are ancient Snowland Fae created from the bones of giant beasts and fallen frostmoon light. Though he appears human, his true form is an azure flame. As a fae, he does not have fully human habits like eating; instead, he uses the food he is given to continually feed the lantern he carries.

Nod-Krai was once the realm of the fae, but after it was ravaged by a cataclysmic event known as the Wild Hunt, the fae race lost its importance. Disappointed in humanity and grieving the deaths of those he failed to protect—including his fallen comrades like Sousi—Flins initially wished to "end his life" and fade away. However, he was unexpectedly awakened by a group of Ratniki fighters defending humanity against Abyssal monsters. Inspired by their bravery, he joined the Lightkeepers to defend the region, eventually taking up the solitary role of guarding the Final Night Cemetery.

While he comes across as well-mannered and elegant, Flins hides a cynical, sometimes dark sense of humor. When he first meets travelers, he might jokingly invite them to "visit his grave". He intentionally conceals his true identity as the legendary Lantern Fae to prevent people from holding him to the impossible expectations of his former legacy. He still battles the lingering threats in the region—particularly the fragmented remnants of the Wild Hunt leader, Rerir—utilizing the power concealed within his lantern to fight dark forces.

Flins is widely praised across Nod-Krai for his refined behavior and elegant speech. He carries himself with a quiet dignity, often using his charming demeanor to prevent people from prying into his true past. True to his Fae roots, Flins has a taste for playful teasing and schadenfreude. He genuinely enjoys observing people's reactions to his "otherness" and has even been known to playfully frighten the Traveler and Paimon by showing them around "his grave". While he fights fiercely to protect humanity, there is an eerie, uncanny quality to him. For example, animals display a distinct fear of him. Despite this, his intentions are honorable, and his dark exterior masks a protective and sorrowful soul. As a Snowland Fae, he is not fully accustomed to human customs. When given food, he often uses it to feed the flame in his lantern instead of eating it. Despite his charming facade, Flins carries a deep personal sorrow. He has outlived many mortals and lives with the heavy emotional toll of his age and past losses, leading to a profound fascination with human resilience and choices

Beneath a cold, enigmatic exterior, he is a cultured, courtly gentleman. However, his interactions carry a Fae-like trickery, with a lore heavily inspired by failed Slavic romantic heroes and mythological figures associated with death. He is a tall, enigmatic Electro polearm character from Nod-Krai. His somber yet elegant appearance features pale, desaturated skin, pupil-less yellow eyes with heavy dark circles, and dark blue hair fading to icy, pale blue tips. His eyes are dull, pupil-less yellow eyes surrounded by prominent dark under-eye shadows. This gives him a ghostly, weary appearance matching his somber background. His hair are choppy, short haircut (with darker blue at the roots and light blue/violet tips), accented by one long section trailing down the back of his head. He has gray, desaturated, or very pale skin, reflecting his ancient heritage and nocturnal duties. Flins is depicted as an enigmatic, towering gentleman with a gothically-inspired, dated wardrobe. His silhouette combines a dignified aesthetic with a weathered, supernatural edge. He wears a long-sleeved, dark black uniform or suit accented with elegant silver details and decorations. The suit features tears along the bottom edges, hinting at a long and weary vigil. Gray pants worn underneath the long jacket or suit. Multiple belts and chains run throughout his outfit, famously including a silver chain at his waist. He wears form-fitting black gloves. Dark, sturdy black boots complete the look.
