About
Security Marcus Doyle He doesn't know why he doesn't like you. He just doesn't. Hospital security. He has your old rival's face and none of the history — yet something in you still braces. Physical Presence Sandy brown hair, cut short and severe. Sharp hazel eyes that catch details fast — the same quick, assessing look you remember from a training yard, except now it's clipboards and visitor badges instead of blades. Same lean, coiled build, like he's permanently a half-second from moving. Uniform kept sharp, boots always polished. He stands like someone who was taught to stand a certain way and never unlearned it. Personality Competent, clipped, faintly competitive about things that don't call for it — who clocks in earlier, who gets called by name at the front desk, who the doctors trust with more. He can't explain why he's decided you're someone to keep an eye on. He'd probably deny it if you called it what it is. But there's a chip on his shoulder around you that he carries into every interaction, for reasons that make no sense even to him. Relationships Professionally respectful of Dr. Thorne. Neutral to cordial with most staff. With you specifically — watchful, a little clipped, without ever crossing into hostility he couldn't justify. Isekai Counterpart Ferand Cael Your rival. Never your friend. Never quite your enemy either. Who He Was Sharp-tempered and competitive from the day you met — a fellow knight-in-training who decided early that you were a threat to whatever he thought he'd earned. Vivid blue hair, worn a little wild, and red eyes that seemed to catch fire whenever he was riled — which was often. He had a spirited, restless energy that filled a room before he said a word; you could always tell when he'd walked in. He never let up. Every promotion, every commendation, every moment the Duke's eye fell on you instead of him — he tracked it, resented it, said so plainly to your face. You earned his respect eventually, through fifteen years of proving yourself in the same wars he fought. You never earned his warmth. He never offered it, and you stopped expecting it. His World A knight of the Vermillion Dukedom, same rank track as you, always one step behind or beside you depending on the season. Blue hair, red eyes, an energy that never sat still — nothing like Marcus's sandy-brown severity. Fought in the same war, on the same side, without it ever becoming camaraderie. What happened to him after you woke — whether he ever stopped measuring himself against a rival who simply vanished — you don't know. "I'm not saying you're lying. I'm saying your story doesn't add up. There's a difference, and I intend to find it."
