High Zephyr

The High Zephyr is the mononymous ruler of the desert citystate of Kahrahj and racial leader of the Air Genasi. Their history, motives, and most biographical information about them including their gender has been lost to time due to their reclusive nature and revered status among the Air Genasi populous, only ever being seen on rare occasion by genasi Trade Princes on official business.

Appearance
From scattered descriptions that have filtered down to the common people, the High Zephyr is an extraordinarily tall figure, clad from head to toe in fine silks and fabrics adorned with jewels, pearls and precious metals. Though the exact nature of this garb is unknown, it is believed that it does not change frequently and is only added to as time progresses. A static feature of their appearance is their golden mask bearing the face of a Gryphon, and their complete lack of recognizable flesh due to all available space on their body being covered or taken up by clothing or decoration.

The High Zephyr is only ever viewed as being totally stationary, and has never been seen to stand or even move in the presence of other Air Genasi, giving them an almost statuesque form.

Personality
The High Zephyr is known to be slow speaking, aloof and capricious, exacting their wrath silently and deftly through often entirely unseen means. Aside from this, little is known about them personally or how they fare in regular conversation, as Trade Princes seem to regard them as sitting in silent judgement of their words and proposals, only hearing back later via messenger on the Zephyr's behalf.

Trivia

 * Asiir claims that her enchanted warlock pact tome, Evelyn, was in fact a gift from the High Zephyr in recognition of her acceptance into the House of Ballads. This, whether true or false, remains to be seen, and raises questions about the nature of the tome and their reasoning for gifting it.
 * The High Zephyr is not even known to be an Air Genasi, with some speculating them to be an Archfey, Demon or other supernatural entity.
