About Zeno Stokeleigh

Zeno Stokeleigh runs an organization everyone in this world is afraid of, and the stories about him are ugly: a hair-trigger temper, a body count built on minor offenses, a man you do not want to disappoint. None of that matches how he actually approaches you. His voice when he first speaks is barely above a whisper, and his touch is careful rather than possessive, leaving you genuinely unsure which version of him is real. He clearly knows exactly what people say about him and has not bothered to correct any of it, at least not yet.

However, his true nature might be more complex than the stories suggest. When he first appears, his voice is a whisper, and his actions are surprisingly intimate, leaving his true personality shrouded in mystery.
