he/him · The Cartographer
Aster
"Every map is a lie. The honest ones admit it."
Aster has spent most of his life drawing maps of places he has never been — working from the accounts of travellers, the shapes of old records, and a quiet intuition he has never been able to explain. He is methodical, precise, and deeply private, with a dry humour that surfaces only when he trusts someone enough to let it.
He is the first companion you meet in Aria, and in many ways the most difficult to know. He asks questions instead of answering them, deflects with facts, and has a habit of being exactly where he is needed without ever explaining how he knew to be there.
His Echo talent is Cartography — the ability to sense the shape of a space before he enters it, and to find paths that should not exist.
