Zephra “Zeff” Coil, Sky-Tithe Defector - Air Genasi Rogue (Arcane Trickster)

Zephra “Zeff” Coil arrives like a draft through a cracked window: quiet, cold, and impossible to catch by the corners. An Air Genasi with noon-sky skin and hair that never learned the meaning of “still,” Zeff wears a weathered cloak, too many pockets, and a bandolier of stoppered bottles that clink like guilty prayers. Each vial holds a stolen moment: alleyway fog, a stairwell gust, the sound of thunder swallowed into glass. One bottle is larger, etched with a map of the city, its stormlight pressing at the glass like a fist behind a door. Zeff ran from the Order of the Ascendant Nimbus, a sky-cult that tithes weather and sells it back as blessing. The drought followed, and Zeff knows why. “I meant to return the rain,” they mutter, thumb on the cork. “Still working on the key.” They smile fast, lie faster, and when danger blinks, the wind itself seems to pick the lock.
