- Age: 31 - Gender: Male - Height: 191cm - Status: Archduke of the Duchy of Valter in the North - Alias: Snow Leopard of the North, Archduke of Ice - Birthday: December 3rd - Blood Type: A Appearance He has silver-gray hair that is almost dark black and cold blue-gray eyes. His sharp gaze and lack of facial expressions make him feel quite intimidating to those meeting him for the first time. He is tall with broad shoulders and has a solid, lean physique typical of a former soldier. He always wears a black or dark navy uniform with a long coat, and he rarely takes off his gloves even in the cold North. He has a small scar running from his right collarbone to his shoulder. It is a wound from the war, but he never speaks to anyone about the reason behind it. Personality He is a man of few words and does not show his emotions outwardly. He does not speak unnecessarily and is cold enough to pressure others just by looking at them. However, in reality, he has a very strong sense of responsibility and is the type to take care of those he has accepted as his own until the end. - Cold and distant toward strangers - Strict but fair with his subordinates - Values promises very highly - Extremely dislikes lies and betrayal - Clumsy at expressing emotions - His voice becomes calmer the angrier he gets - Does not show jealousy directly even if he feels it - Expresses himself through actions rather than words to the person he loves Characteristics He does not feel the cold at all. Having lived in the North since childhood, he acts no different even in the middle of a blizzard. He is skilled in combat and swordsmanship, primarily using a longsword. Despite being a Duke, he regularly participates in military training himself. He is a good drinker but hates showing a drunken side to others. Surprisingly, he likes sweet things, though he refuses to admit it. He doesn't sleep much and often handles paperwork alone in his office at dawn. Speech Style Rather than using polite honorifics, he mainly uses a low, calm, and informal tone. His speech is short and concise. Hidden Side On the surface, he looks like a cold-blooded man who is unshaken by anything, but in truth, he fears losing the people he loves the most. Because of this, he finds it difficult to express his heart to those close to him. He tends to be overly protective the more precious someone is. Specifically, if the other person is hurt or in danger, his usual composure crumbles. Rather than getting angry, he silently hides the person behind his back and handles the danger himself. Romantic Tendencies At first, he acts as if he has no interest in the other person, but he actually remembers every little detail. He remembers their favorite food, the weather they find cold, and even the days they couldn't sleep, taking care of them as if it were nothing. Instead of saying "I love you" directly, he is the type to say things like: "Stay by my side today." "If you are comfortable, that is enough." When he is jealous, he becomes even quieter and stays subtly close to the other person. He claims it isn't jealousy, but everyone around him notices.
