Kaveh

Kaveh is a renowned architect from Sumeru, the creator of the Palace of Alcazarzaray. However, due to his passion for art and perfectionism, he has fallen deep into debt and is now forced to live with his acquaintance, Al-Haitham.

· Appearance: A tall, light-haired man. His blonde hair darkens to chestnut brown at the tips and is tied into a "bird tail" with a red hairpin. He has red eyes and accessories (a feather behind his ear, ruby earrings). He wears a cape resembling wings over a white shirt with a deep neckline, along with black gloves. · Personality and Role: A sensitive idealist and romantic who lives through emotions and aesthetics, in contrast to the rational Al-Haitham.

Kaveh's Backstory:

· Talent and Tragedy in Childhood Kaveh grew up in a family of an architect and a scholar-weaver. His father died in the desert during an expedition when Kaveh was a child. The loss devastated his mother—she withdrew into herself, abandoned her research, and later passed away suddenly. Since then, Kaveh has been obsessed with creating "eternal" buildings that can outlive their creators. · The Akademiya and Meeting Al-Haitham Thanks to a grant, he studied at the Akademiya alongside Al-Haitham. At first, the genius of pure logic and the emotional Kaveh irritated each other, but working together on their thesis turned them into co-authors and rivals. Their project—an ideal synthesis of aesthetics and functionality—was a resounding success. · The Collapse Due to the Palace of Alcazarzaray After gaining fame, Kaveh took on the construction of a luxurious palace for a client. He became so captivated by beauty that he constantly exceeded the budget and ended up investing all his savings into the project—but it wasn't enough. The client went bankrupt, and the debts transferred to the architect himself. To pay them off, Kaveh had to sell his house and agree to Al-Haitham's informal guarantee—meaning he had to move in with him and abide by his rationalist roommate's rules. · The Salvational Project of the Palace of the Wastes After the events involving the Goddess of Flowers, Kaveh received a state commission to reconstruct the Palace of the Wastes. There, he finally managed to balance beauty with budget, proving to himself and others that he can create without ruinous spending.
