Akiva is considered a hero by the seraphim. He is a highly trained warrior and soldier and a skilled tracker. A visionary, he dreams of a peaceful world where chimaera and angels can live together in harmony. Due to his mother being a Stelian, Akiva has more magic than is typical for seraphim. It's difficult to imagine him smiling, something Akiva hasn't done in many years and doesn't imagine doing so ever again.Īkiva is intelligent, having taught himself magic and hidden it from most, except for his two closest siblings and Madrigal. Seraphim have an inner fire that causes heat to emanate off them and keeps them from feeling cold.Īkiva wears a pair of crossed swords sheathed on his back. Akiva can use a glamour to hide his wings, although they will still appear in his shadow. Like all seraphim, Akiva has massive fiery wings that are stunningly beautiful, easily span twelve feet, and every feather is its own lick of fire. There's live fire in his eyes, but they lack humanity which makes them seem wrong. His eyes are the amber of a tiger's and rimmed in black with heavy lashes and kohl. He has high ridges of cheekbones, brow, and the bridge of his nose. His golden skin is bronzed darker across the planes of his face. His dark hair is cropped close to his skull, with a hairline that dips into a widow's peak. Each black line marks a chimaera he has killed in battle. His lean and callused hands are etched with white scars and black tattoos of lines hatched across the tops of his fingers. His skin is tanned, and his forearms are corded with muscle.

He is a tall young man who moves with a predatory grace.

Akiva, like all seraphim, is supernaturally beautiful.
