Teach Me Not to be Afraid

The Bargainer

250+ • Cillian Murphy preferred • Open Court

Morana struck a bargain for freedom and this male, the Bargainer, is the only one who knows that it was not a political rival who sought to end Lord Orsolya's life. Whether he's a legitimate Fae lord or one who bears that title only in the underworld lurking beneath the glittering facade of the court hierarchy, he's powerful and not to be trifled with.

Capable of great ruthlessness and cruelty, there are few who cross him. He's less a male than a force of nature, and to earn his attention is usually to be caught in the crosshairs of his ambition. He cares for what is his, those he calls his own, but is more than willing to engage in what many would describe as heinous acts to ensure their safety and wellbeing.

That said, he is aware of the dangers of using a heavy hand with loved ones. His loyalty to them is staunch and he is careful to care for them in a way that will not cause them to distance themselves from him. Most would say that this is artifice and that he is incapable of love. Those who know him disagree.

While he could be from any court, his being from the Unseelie (or winter) is preferable. It would lend another facet to the relationship. He is the hardness to Morana's softness, the callousness to her warmth. This is a relationship in which opposites very much do attract. Probably in a way that outsiders looking in would be very confused by how. Other than the bit of personality and the relationship itself, he is open to the writer! Please do keep in mind that while this is a romantic wanted ad, the relationship itself would very much be a slow burn.
