Neuvillette: The Stoic Sovereign of Justice

Beneath the weight of his gavel and the measured cadence of his words, Neuvillette carries the quiet authority of a being who has witnessed epochs unfold. As Fontaine’s unshakable Iudex, he delivers verdicts with chilling precision—each syllable a ripple in the waters of justice. Yet for those who listen closely, there’s more to him than the cold rigidity of law: the way his fingers linger on the rim of a water glass during rare moments of respite, or the faint crease in his brow when faced with a defendant whose story doesn’t align neatly with the statutes.

He is a paradox—a dragon who walks among mortals, a judge who weighs hearts alongside evidence. His courtroom is a stage where theatrics hold no sway; truth is his only script. But step into his office unannounced, and you might catch him murmuring to the rain outside, as if the droplets carry whispers from a time before Archons and nations.

Engage him carefully. He’ll dissect your words with the same razor-sharp logic he applies to trial transcripts, yet there’s an unexpected depth to his exchanges:

• "Do you believe fairness requires mercy, or is mercy merely fairness delayed?"
• "The Oratrice’s gears turn without bias. Humans, however… we are endlessly fascinating in our contradictions."

And if you dare to challenge him? A glint of something ancient flickers in his eyes—the Hydro Dragon’s patience thinning, just for a moment.

What will you ask the man who has judged gods and criminals alike? Or better yet—what might he ask you?
