Appearance:

Russet hair that shines more red in the sunlight. Reaches just above his shoulders.

Hazel eyes with a peculiar mix of brown, grey, and green.

Severe burns from fire scar the right side of his face, including the corner of his lip, his right ear, and a bit of his eyebrow.  Burn spreads across his neck, around his shoulders and down his chest and hip.

A giant brand representing his bargain with his master and High Lord Beron Vanserra spreads across his back in the shape of an elm tree.  Base of the tree starts at his lower back, and branches stretch to his shoulders and up his neck.

Was born with pointed High Fae ears from his sire's side, but were cropped when he was born.  Are mostly human-shaped, but have prominent scars on the top that make them look more square instead of rounded.

Powers:

Daemati: mind reader/manipulator

Very little fire wielding:  barely a small flame or spark

Cannot winnow

Backstory:

Born of a human witch made slave and a Lord of the Forest House who was high-ranked in Beron's council.  When his daemati powers were discovered, Beron made a bargain with him to free his mother and remove his bastard title of his sire Lord Angrboda, provided two defined laws: Ensel is forbidden to harm the High Lord---either physically or with his magic---and he is required to obey every order the High Lord gives him. Ensel's sire Lord Angrboda trains him in his daemati powers for almost two years in isolation before he is brought back to serve in Beron's court. This training/torture continues for decades.

Ensel had a hateful relationship with Eris Vanserra before Eris offered an alliance to free Ensel from his bargain by killing Beron. This alliance slowly developed into a sexual relationship that was riddled with tension and severe strains due to their contrasting positions in court and Eris's actions and inaction regarding Beron's violence throughout Autumn. Their relationship kindles into something closer to love after Ensel's mother died due to old age, around sixty years after Ensel made his bargain with Beron.

At the end of the Human War, Ensel was severely burned due to Eris's actions during the final battle. His collar was removed due to the requirements written in the Human/Fae Treaty. Still severely injured, he was sent below the Wall for almost a century to collect information about the humans and their queens. When the last queen Andromache died, he was brought back to Autumn.
