Orion Ernas was a man in his mid-forties over 1.96 meters (6'5") tall, with black hair and brown eyes like Phloria. His physique was lean but muscular and his perfectly shaven face showed great sadness.
Orion had some wrinkles around the eyes and temples, but every movement of his was still full of the vigor one would expect from a much younger man.
He and Raaz knew each other ever since their respective children had attended the White Griffon academy. Even though the difference in their social standing was like heaven and earth, the two men carried a deep bond of trust and respect.
"Thanks. What's going on that requires this kind of secrecy?" Lith asked.
