Nero Frostreach
the Bleakwarden Count
Named for the black frost that creeps across windowpanes in a room where someone has just died, and the reach of that cold into the next life.
Power

You are slicing the rime from a fallen larch with your thumbnail when the moon breaks through the clouds. A hare freezes mid-leap three paces away, its fur already brittle. You have been doing this for so long that winter follows you like a dog, and you no longer remember which warmth you first lost.
