Cadus
Cadus Flint, or the Grey Plague, is a mercenary who also seeks the gauntlet for his own reasons. He serves as an adversary/mentor for Hameas, teaching him the harsh realities of the world through his jaded world view.

With Cadus’s latest iteration I wanted to simplify the design further, focusing more on shapes than details. I also returned his hat to him and improved the smoky cloak he wears, which wasn’t well communicated in the previous iteration.

With this version of the design, I wanted to make Cadus more mysterious at the outset of the story before revealing his true face. I also wanted to simplify from previous designs but ultimately, I felt I could go further.

It was at this point that I decided to make Cadus into a bug creature rather than a generic human. As with my other characters, I wanted to make Hameas stand out as the only “normal” person. While I like the core aspects of this design, it was definitely too complicated and needed to be simplified in future iterations.
