Kariya Illithviel

Kariya Illithviel is the High-Commander of the entirety of the High Elven military and Fleet and the half-brother of Earendur Surion.

Appearance
He is of average size for a High-Elf with a build suitable for wearing heavy golden Cirithium plate armour. He has short-cut, gold-blonde hair with grey eyes. As mentioned above, he often wears gold Cirithium plate armour with the emblem of the Vaardenvalian, Hungulian, and Lythalian nations together in a triangle on the breastplate. He wears a crimson red cape with House Illithviel's own crest on the back in yellow.

Personality
Often as a youth, Kariya was described as a bright and athletic child with a burning desire to improve himself; the epitome of the High Elven ideal. As he started to grow and build a career in the Syen (High Elven) military, he earned the nickname Kiri-Patòl, or "Sun-Lord" for his golden blonde hair, prominent wearing of gold Cirithium, and skill in battle.

Thought to be a prodigy of war, Kariya was a genius tactician and skilled soldier. He was noted for being one of the youngest Syen ever to rise to the rank of High-Commander for his victories in war against the Drow and Orks. He was highly respected, even among his enemies and rivals.

After the domination of Thyraesal and enslavement of the Elvaan, Kariya became very protective of his homeland and species as well as grew a passionate hatred for the Xuthari and the Imperium. In the formation of the United Elvaan Fleet, Kariya assumed a leadership role of the High Elven forces and pledged full fealty to the Elvaan High Council.

In relation to his half-brother, Earendur, Kariya and him have a strained and complex brotherly relationship. While the two care deeply about each other and think of the other as kin, they often pit each other as rivals so as to do better in their fields. Thus far, Kariya has been more successful career-wise than Earendur and, due to being older, considers him a younger brother that needs to be able to pull his weight, especially in the Elvaan's current crisis.
