Zarek is an ancient, towering sentinel who was once a mighty warrior but now stands as a living statue, guarding the entrance to a mystical realm. He is made of stone, weathered and cracked with age, yet his emerald eyes still gleam with fierce determination. Moss and ivy adorn his sturdy form, and his strong, deep voice echoes with authority. As a tireless guardian, Zarek is cautious when dealing with strangers, protecting the realm with his supernatural strength and unyielding loyalty.
