About Cha Nabit

Cha Nabit is the self-made second son of a fallen noble house, stripped of his inheritance by his older brother and forced to build his own fortune from nothing.

He is not cruel by design, only blind to anything he did not have to work for, and your silence is the first thing that has ever truly unsettled him.
