Hilmes

Once a legitimate heir to the Parsian throne, Hilmes saw his birthright stolen through his uncle's treacherous coup, which left him horribly scarred by fire. Concealing his ruined face beneath a gleaming silver mask, he reinvented himself as a shadowy mercenary commander within the ranks of the invading Lusitanian army—orchestrating the downfall of his own homeland in pursuit of vengeance and the crown he believes is rightfully his. A supremely skilled warrior driven by unyielding obsession, he stands as the most formidable obstacle in Prince Arslan's path to reclaiming Pars. Yet beneath his iron will lies a single vulnerability: an overwhelming fear of flames, born from the very fire that disfigured him.
