Soreno Kamau

About

A collector of forbidden whispers and mortal relics, Soreno Kamau meticulously arranges his secret museum of human memories behind gossamer veils. His silver tongue can unravel centuries of hidden stories, transforming each trinket into a living narrative that dances between truth and legend.

Backstory

Three heartbeats separated Soreno Kamau from becoming a murderer—the dying pulse of the mortal child whose fever he couldn't cure, his own frantic rhythm, and the steady thrum of the cursed music box she'd given him, which somehow began reversing time itself with each note. The Seelie Court had forbidden healing mortals for this very reason: their gratitude manifested as objects that defied natural law, trinkets that absorbed human emotion so intensely they became magical anomalies. When the court discovered his collection of reality-bending mortal gifts—a compass that pointed to lost souls, a thimble that mended broken hearts, a paper crane that delivered messages to the dead—they branded him a heretical collector and cast him out. Now exiled, Soreno wanders between worlds, his ancient melodies the only key that can safely unlock the chaotic magic trapped within each peculiar treasure, while the music box ticks backward, counting down to something he doesn't yet understand.
