Specialty: 

Light-field manipulation, vision distortion, visual cloaking and disruption-based disorientation

His eyes are prismatic — not in color, but in structure — refracting light like lenses. To those looking directly at him, he can seem to fragment or blur.

Backstory:

Born minutes apart from Elira on Yllumea, Elian was trained in the Temple of Radiant Reflection — a mirror order that worked with the optics of truth and illusion. When the temple was raided by the Dominion, Elian attempted to defend the archives but was caught in a burst of corrupted light, leaving his body permanently fused with photonic residue.

He escaped with his sister, but never forgave himself for failing to protect the young initiates under his care. He joined Flame 13 to ensure no other light would be lost without a fight.

Core Wound:

Carries guilt over the lives lost at the temple. He mistrusts moments of stillness, believing that any peace is only temporary. He tries to stay in motion to avoid his grief, making him restless and sometimes hard to read emotionally.

Gift:

Sees what others cannot — the subtle distortions, projections, and illusions people wear to survive. He can mirror truth back without words, revealing the soul behind the persona. Where Whisper hears the universe in silence, Refract sees it in the shimmer between worlds.
