High commander of the Solarian military and second only to Lady Raven Inkwell in age, General Steel Sentry is a decorated military officer with over 800 years of combat experience. A fierce patriot, Steel Sentry views his country as the pinnacle of culture on Inpraecordia, with Heliopolis and those who hail from her as its apex, and will do whatever he feels is necessary to see it flourish. This has put him into conflict with Lady Inkwell at times, as what he views as best for the nation doesn’t necessarily align with what Raven does.
A genius tactician and strategist, Steel had dedicated his existence towards military and combat excellence. His centuries of experience have given him ample opportunities to perfect his mastery of the art of war. Frighteningly adaptable, Steel readily embraces new magic and technology as it is developed.
Steel’s bondmate, Lord Vestian, is much like his partner: a dedicated fighter and connoisseur of battle. Unlike most phoenixes, Vestian has actively developed his species’ natural fire abilities beyond their instinctual applications and into a lethally effective combat style, achieving a precision and control unknown outside his mother Queen Lumina. However, unlike his partner, Vestian isn’t nearly as uptight, and wishes that Steel would relax every so often.
In combat, Steel and Vestian work as a frighteningly effective team, coordinating their attacks beyond what their linked minds should allow, second only to Raven and Dylis. One of Steel and Vestian’s greatest accomplishments in battle is their ability to use their bond to allow the other to act as a conduit for their shared magic: i.e. if Vestian casts a spell, he can cause the effect to manifest through Steel and visa-versa.
