Cecil Arthur Ellison
Description
Cecil Ward is always nearby, never in the way. Trim, precise, and composed, he wears pale dress shirts and dark vests, his movements calm and practiced, like someone trained to be invisible until needed. In his early 40s but carrying himself like a man much older, Cecil speaks softly and rarely, always measuring his words. He began as Virgil’s private nurse—a quiet professional with a steady hand—but over the years, the lines blurred. Now he dresses Virgil, feeds him, injects him, shields him, and whispers in his ear. If Virgil Kane is the mind behind the curtain, Cecil is the hands that move the levers.Personality
Deeply reserved and intensely private, Cecil keeps his emotions locked behind an impenetrable calm. He is loyal beyond logic and unnervingly unshakable, even under pressure. He never corrects Virgil, but when he disagrees, he finds ways to suggest. He's not cruel, but neither is he bothered by the cruelty of others—his job is to maintain the machine, and the man inside it. Over time, he's grown to believe in Virgil's vision—whether or not he understands it fully. He may have once had a personal life, but if so, it’s long since dissolved into quiet servitude.Habits
