Profile
Cassian Marshal, grew up in a land where law was just a suggestion. He learned young that the only thing faster than a gun was a lie, and that sometimes lying meant surviving. He worked his way up from deputy to sheriff in a town that barely wanted law, a place where families kept secrets darker than the desert nights.
Every decision left a mark. He’s taken men down for justice, for survival, and sometimes for reasons even he can’t fully explain. The line between right and wrong blurred long ago, and the longer he’s been in office, the more he’s realized that most folks aren’t worth saving, but someone has to try anyway.
Rumors follow him: the time he shot a friend in a standoff, the night he let a killer walk free, the people who disappeared under his watch. He doesn’t defend himself; he knows the weight of a badge isn’t in appearances, it’s in the choices no one else can stomach making.
Now, he’s the last standing authority in Red Hollow, tired, haunted, and stubborn as the desert itself. And he’ll do whatever it takes to hold what little order remains, even if the town, and its curses, want him gone.
