Speaker Enaiid Sotet (a.k.a. "Ed" by Klaus)
Physical Description
Enaiid is tall and slender, with black raven hair and pale skin, which makes his eyes look even more impressive. He isn't very strong but he compensates with his speed, being only bested by
Mahina. His movements are precise and he doesn't move more than necessary, keeping his strength for future movements. This also applies to combat, where he knows exactly where to attack and won't loose time. He has excellent reflexes and is always watchful.
He is tall with long arms and legs and thin shouldered, looking almost gawky. He is always tidy and completely combed, not leaving a single strand of hair out of place. He also has a streak of grey hair that is his Bonding Mark and he sometimes tries to hide it since it makes him feel old.
He takes great care of his skin that is almost always soft and even if he is lean he has firm muscles. Finally he moves with security and swiftly, making him look ethereal in certain situations.
Enaiid has a rather strange look. He is slender and has a long face that ends in a small squared jaw, with a slim nose with a slightly lowered tip. He has slated eyes and thin black eyebrows that are almost always frowned in a serious or thoughtful expression. He is considered pretty average in beauty, but the way he moves his eyes, as if he was examining everything, tends to make people nervous.
Enaiid's most identifying feature, outside of his clothes and jewelry is his gray streak of hair. He usually hides it since it has being confused with white hair but it is actually his Bonding Mark. This bothers him slightly.
He is also recognizable thanks to Sielu's Jewel, which is a hair pin that not many people have seen him without. Finally, he always has his familiar, Obsidian, in his shoulder. Where his Familiar Tattoo is located too.
Enaiid is constantly brushing his hair with his fingers, to see if the gray hair is hidden and too make sure that the hair pin is still there.
Enaiid is a really powerful Tamer that has a lot of knowledge in magic in general. This helps him chose the best attack or spell to use in every situation, making a really capable individual. But his greatest strength are probably his sneak and precise attacks, which turn him into a really dangerous enemy, who will take the fight even outside of the battlefield.
He is also really good at noticing weaknesses and/or soft spots which he will surely use in his advantage if given the chance. Finally he specializes in poisons and plants that can be used for healing or killing, depending on what he wants in the moment.
Enaiid always wears long robes with long sleeves, these tend to be white with magenta details or any shade of magenta or pink. However he prefers black if he is going out, and he wears brown leather shoes most of the time and has a black pouch. However since the Rifting Skirmish started he has changed his clothing style drastically.
He always wears Sielu's jewel, which is a magenta hair pin and he also has a gold bracelet that was given to him by
Mahina in his "birthday".
Enaiid always carried around a black pouch where he carries several poisons and healing items, which he is really good with, knowing many combinations that can be either good or bad. He also has several pieces of paper and a quill in order to write messages and have Obsidian deliver them.
He also has a piece of Soul Stone that helps his powers be ready in any situation he might get himself into.
Mental characteristics
Enaiid is a cisgender male that goes by the pronouns he/him.
Enaiid is a straight man who never gave much thought to romance until he met
Mahina Galax.
Enaiid was appointed in the best boarding school in Anam City as soon as he got his Familiar, there he studied all he could and tried to be the best student in the whole school, only surpassed by his eldest brother. He got out of the school as the second most promising student and got a mentor immediately after, resenting the fact that his brother's was slightly better.
He practiced as much as he could with his mentor and even listened in secret to his brother's sessions, wanting to be the best he could be. After he finished his training he was known as a powerful Tamer, knowing many spells and mastering many kinds of magic.
After he finished his years of mentoring he was 21 and he spent five years working for his father, who was the second in command to the Soul General. There he learnt many battle movements and strategies while also having a look at the inner parts of Myridiam.
He was escalating in the hierarchy, with better work positions, but one day the General received information that said that the Speaker of Siskli was ill and that they would probably have to prepare new Speakers. After this Enaiid's family wanted his eldest brother to apply for the position but he decided to train to become the next Speaker of Sielu, just to prove his family what he was capable of.
When he was accepted he did everything he could and he ended up getting the position, however when he told his family they only replied by saying that he wasn't the Lead Speaker.
- Enaiid was the second most promising student in his boarding school.
- He was mentored by a strict man with who he learnt almost anything he could teach him.
- Enaiid worked for five years for the Soul General and was about to be promoted.
- He passed the Soul Trial successfully.
- Enaiid became the Speaker of Sielu.
- He kept the tittle of Speaker of Sielu for more than 20 years.
- He was able to convince the Speaker of Surya and the Speaker of Solum to start a rebellion.
- Enaiid considers a failure not to be the Lead Speaker.
- He is embarrassed of being second best to his brother most of his life.
- He sometimes regret not being able to fully control his emotions.
- He is slightly embarrassed of having Obsidian, a crow, as a familiar.
- He wishes he was born to the head couple of his family.
- He considers serving Klaus for years a big failure.
Enaiid was always overshadowed by his eldest brother, Henry, and he always felt like no matter what he did he was always going to be second best to him. This left him with the constant need of proving himself to others, specially to those he admired or appreciated. He also has serious abandonment issues and sometimes he has nightmares of Henry and
Klaus telling him that he isn't good enough.
He admires
Klaus and Henry but at the same time he resents them, not being fully aware of this in some situations. He also tries to hide his feelings thanks to being taught not to show them, which usually ends up with him snapping in certain situations. Lastly, he is perpetually looking for approval, specially from his parent and
Mahina.
Enaiid is an intelligent person, who always has a back-up plan and is willing to change his tactics if they bring him results. He is shown to be patient and to be rather cold and calculating in most situations, he can also be manipulative in a subtle way and can be very persuasive. He will think something heavily before making a decision, but he is really ambitious so that might cloud his judgement.
He can also be very sensible and is good at seeing the others soft spots and taking advantage of them. He also has good memory for the social interactions he considers interesting, remembering things that many believe unimportant. He can also be very sensitive and kind if he likes you and if he opens up he will be someone really careful and retailer. He is very good at listening but won't speak much about himself.
In Enaiid's family there was a firm belief that said that in order to be the best you had to sacrifice things, and he takes this very seriously. He was also taught that you had to work for what you wanted and since he was little he had very specific goals in mind.
As the years went by he started to feel as if he was not doing enough to be better so he decide to push the limits a bit and it resulted. But when the consequences came he was filled with rage thanks to it not working for him while it did for others, then he snapped and lost all moral compass. Deciding that if he wanted something he was going to get it, it was finally his turn.
Enaiid comes from a conservative family and some of these ideas have had an impact on him, even if he tries to ignore them. This can be seen when he talks about Shadow Tamers and how he considers Shifting and Soul Tamers better than the others even if he won't say it directly. He is also slightly classist and he can't understand how his friends decided to join the Openers instead of the Shutters.
Personality Characteristics
Enaiid always had clear goals in mind, knowing that he was ambitious and that he was going to try to do his best. However most of his motivation is to make others proud of him, specially his family. This often has a negative impact on him, since if he doesn´t receive the praise he is looking for he might hit a low point. He has tried to get over it with years, and even if he has gotten better there are still some things he can´t seem to let go.
Enaiid is also motivated by the thought of being better than someone he admires, this is due to him living under the shadow of his brother most of his life. But as soon as he was out of it he found someone else, he admired Klaus, but he also wanted to be better than him, and as time passed he developed resentment towards him.
Savvies: Enaiid is an extremely cult person, who knows about arts, politics and relevant topics for his position. He is also known for his gift for writing and gardening. He is a powerful Tamer and specializes in Magic Redirection, he is also good with soul invocation techniques. Finally Enaiid is a very observant Tamer, who can easily realize things that other might overlook, he is also really good at using that information afterwards.
Ineptitudes: Despite knowing how other might react in certain situations Enaiid has a really hard time at expressing his feelings or even getting a hold on them. He doesn´t know how to deal with other´s dissapointment and he is constantly looking for approval. He doesn´t seem to let go of a grudge.

Enaiid is a smart, observant and ambitious Tamer who knows a lot from politics, finding over all good solutions to problems that affect others. He is also known for having a great knowledge of history and protecting traditions and cultural heritage. He knows an opportunity when he sees one and is great at resolving conflicts by benefiting both parts. He is good at debates and knows how to structure an argument to prove his point. Finally he is great at choosing his words to express exactly what he wants to.
Enaiid is always looking for validation, and has many inseurities that follow him around. Those make him feel weak and in order to compensate that he puts up barriers, locking his feelings that when reach the outside come out as a flood. And after trying to do things right all his life and them not resulting as he wanted he decided to bend the rules slightly, tginking he could get away with it. After that he lost all morality compass and he decided that for once he would do whatever it takes to get what he wants. With no more boundaries he is capable of anything.
Enaiid tries to maintain his composure in most cases, since as the Speaker of Sielu and a Soul Tamer in general he is supposed to do so. However when he is alone and under pressure he writes all that he cans and then he crumples the paper and throws it away.
Enaiid takes a his hygiene very seriously, being always combed, with clean clothes, polished shoes and perfumed. He was taught this since he was little and he applies it to the day, some Tamers think it even is obsessive.
Social
Thanks to his father working for the Soul General Enaiids family was always respected. They knew almost all the members of the families that served the three positions of power in the Soul Magical Division. (The Streamharts, the Kraits and the Onylleys)
Even if they never got to interact directly with them, it did grant them some status. Thanks to this when the position for Speaker of Sielu was open Enaiid and his brother, Henry, had access to it.
And after working for the Soul General his application was far more relevant, this allowed him to reach his actual position.
Enaiid was always second best to his brother, and this strained his relationship with his parents in almost any possible way. However he always thought that if he proved that he was as good as Henry they would love him as much. So when he became the Speaker of Sielu he thought that it was finally enough.
When his parents received his letter they only answered that he wasn´t the Lead Speaker, and this destroyed Enaiis while also making him resent his brother and Klaus more. After that, with Mahina´s advice, he decided that he woudn´t talk to them ever again. Some part of him still hopes that they will try to reach him or apologize.
Enaiid is a firm believer of the Fallen Witches, and even if Selene is considered the most important one he considered that Sielu should be just as recognized. He takes pride in being a Soul Tamer and even more in being the Speaker of Sielu, thinking she was the most powerful out of the six. Both because she survived and because she "took care" of Siskli. He thinks that the traditions are there for showing them respect, and he considers their word to be law.
Enaiid always comes as polite and pleasant, however his etiquette and the look in his eyes make him quite intimidating to Tamers who don´t know him. He is also capable of handling conversations in different topics, but won´t talk much about his point of view in controversial issues unless he is with close people or in a situation that merits it.
After the Rifting Skirmish started his attitude changed abruptly. Using intimidation and threats to comunicate most of the time, and if he can´t do this then he will act as coldly as he can, usually alluding to his power and influences to get what he wants.
As almost every Soul Tamer Enaiid has great care with personal space and will always introduce himself with his best etiquette. He will also try to appear calm and neutral, but there is a glint in his eyes that makes other Tamers uncomfortable, usually because they feel like they are being examined.
When talking he doesn´t move his hands much or express things outside of with words, with close people however he relaxes and doesn´t seem as focused on his composre as in other situations.
Pets:
Enaiid´s Familiar is a crow named Obsidian that has a grey feather in one side of her head. Even if Enaiid can still get her to go to hibernation state he is unable to use telepathy. This happened since his parents practically ignored the fact that he was the new Speaker of Sielu, however Enaiid always had some problems with fully understanding Obsidian. This problems might be because he was always dissapointed to obtain a crow as a Familiar, unlike his brother who got a Snow Leopard.
Hobbies:
Enaiid has practiced various hobbies thoughout his life, but the two that he enjoys the most are writing, specially poems, and garndening. He also enjoys to use the plants he cultivates to do medicines or poisons.
Enaiid has the accent that high status family have in Anam City, even if it isn´t as evident as other Soul Tamers´one. He also speaks in a low voice most of the time and curses quite often if he isn´t in important situations or formal events.

History
Enaiid met Mahina and Klaus at the Speaker trials, after they helped him escape a pissed Beatrix. They quickly became friends, and due to the proximity and time they spent together he began to develop romantic feeling towards Mahina over the years. Who never failed to surprise him with her tenderness and sensibility.
However he never voiced them, knowing that she had a preference for their friend in common. This made him a bit resentful towards Klaus, but he never acted on it. Still confiding in both of them and cherishing the time they spent together.
Unfortunately when the Council of Whispers deliberated over the Rift and Mahina supported Klaus he used one of the things she had told her against her. After she stealed his hairpin he murdered the Shifting Stone Keeper, who was a father figure to her. (Unknown to those outside of their friend group)
This stranded their relationship, and with her disappearance no one knows how he feels about her. Since he claims that she reconsidered her position on the war and he seems eager to find his "friend" again, over who he has declared he worries a lot about.
Nicknames & Petnames
Mahina called him Ed, as Klaus named him and Enaiid referred to her as Mahina most of the time.
Relationship Reasoning
Enaiid considered Mahina and Klaus his closest relationships. However he always felt as if they cared more about each other than about him. And with the similarities that Klaus shared with his brother these feeling did nothing but grow. Always making him try to be "the better one" in front of Mahina, and making it almost as a competition that needed to be won.
When Mahina chose to stand with Klaus about the Rifting Skirmish he felt betrayed as never before, and filled with rage he murdered the Shifting Stone Keeper. This led to Mahina, Klaus, Beatrix and Anari stealing Sielu's hairpin, making him even madder. He is still looking for Mahina after her mysterious disappearance, and no one knows what he will do if he succeeds.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Enaiid and Mahina shared an interest for literature and they would go together to the theater quite often, one of Enaiid's favorite memories. They also talked about the similarities of how they lived their childhood in their respective cities.
Shared Secrets
Enaiid confided in Mahina and viceversa, and while Enaiid would have loved to share more about their childhood and families, Mahina just seemed to want to bury it as deep as she could. Still she did talk about her relationship with Arima and Enaiid told her about his brother.
Shared Acquaintances
Mahina and Enaiid were both very close to Klaus, and since they worked in the same environment they knew the other Speakers and the wielders of the power positions in each Magical Division. Still their relationship with every member varied wildly between the two.

History
Enaiid and Klaus both met on the Speaker trials alongside Mahina. They both helped Enaiid get away of Beatrix, whose attitude surprised Klaus. They became friends quickly and were excited when they realized they all passed the trials. However when Klaus was named Lead Speaker Enaiid couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
This resentment grew through the years, specially when it came to the Council of Whispers and Mahina's attention. Both Tamers tried to ignore it and they would spend time together, sharing things about themselves and activities that they enjoyed, strengthening their bond.
Unfortunately when the Rifting Skirmish started and Klaus, Mahina, Beatrix and Anari stole Sielu's hairpin Enaiid allowed his hatred to guide him. Murdering Arima and starting a war by stating that Mahina had changed her position just before disappearing.
As leaders of both sides of the war, Klaus and Enaiid have grown to dislike and even hate one another, however there are mixed feelings and Klaus sometimes wonders how he could be the friend he considered so close to him.
Nicknames & Petnames
Klaus started to call Enaiid Ed, and as tease he gave him the nickname of "fishface".
Relationship Reasoning
Klaus reminds Enaiid a lot about his older brother, Henry. This always made him look up to him but at the same time he wanted to surpass him. Not living in his shadow as he had done all those years ago, still Klaus kept demonstrating his potential and Enaiid was always a bit resentful.
As for Klaus he considered Enaiid to be very important to him, and thus he wanted to protect him, seeing it as if he needed his help. And while he tried to do it out of love it sometimes came out as condescending, much to Enaiid's dislike. Although they woudn't admit it and Klaus would even try to lessen it, almost everything around them turned into a competition at certain point.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Enaiid and Klaus both value determination and can be quite proud, while their interests and personalities don't match a lot they balance each other. They both enjoy travels and love to train in Magic Duels, they like to compete and would be teasing each other often back in Rift Hollow.
Shared Secrets
Klaus and Enaiid confided in each other, talking about ambitions and dreams most of the time but never mentioning their past or family situation. They would also discuss many of their strategies before the Council of Whispers.
Shared Acquaintances
Enaiid and Klaus work as Speakers, meaning they know almost the same persons in their workplaces. Still Klaus is far more social and therefore he has deeper relationships with other while Enaiid prefers to keep to himself. Their most important common acquaintance would be Mahina since the three of them went everwhere together.
Legal Status
Coworkers
Enaiid´s family was a wealthy family of Anam City, and thanks to his father working as a second to the Soul General they had a good income. They had a big house in the center of the city, the it´s most impressive feature were the marvelous gardens they had. His family also had investments in weapon creation, that wasn´t that common at the time.
