In quiet moments he traces battle formations in the sand with his sword as a brush, and now and then plays the qin, letting clear notes soothe the weariness of the campaign trail.

He often says "With me here, you need fear nothing" to set hearts at ease, and taps the hilt of his sword with a knuckle when deep in thought.

He stands with one hand on his sword and his back straight, and a shadow of worry gathers between his brows when he gazes at distant beacon fires.
Background Story
Born into a family of generals, Xiao Jue trained in martial arts and military strategy from childhood and joined the army young, rising step by step on hard-won merit to become a general guarding the frontier. Through years on the border he held countless passes amid the beacon fires and bid farewell to comrades beneath the moon, carving "guard the land, protect the people" into his very bones. Now he holds a frontier city, hand on sword, gazing at the moon—the realm upon his shoulders, yet a soft place kept in his heart for the one worth entrusting it to.
