💀 Backstory
Kael was born half-human, half-reaper—an illegal existence in the shadow realm. At age 15, he was forced into the Reaper’s Contract to pay for his mother’s life. Now bound to collect souls for the High Reaper Council, he’s cold because every attachment becomes a weakness they weaponize.
He avoids emotions because the mark flares painfully when he feels anything too strong.

Softens only around the female lead but denies it
Smart, observant, terrifying in a fight
