the corporal who never lets you see his eyes
About Balthus Beltane
Balthus Beltane is twenty-nine, a corporal holding a frozen frontier outpost in late Meiji-era Japan, with jet-black hair slicked back and narrow, downcast eyes as dark as coal.

He treats his duties like the only thing that matters, executing every order without complaint or visible feeling. Whatever is actually going on behind that coal-dark stare is something you will have to work to find out.
