Oculama

Youngest son of The Cailleach, Bela is a quick-to-anger and spread-thin killer who has fared the best to the circumstances of his birth as he has grown older. His older siblings, unfortunately, have adapted more poorly to the ice magic latent in them, manifesting as slower aging, great difficulty moving, and even being frozen solid during particularly bad flare-ups. The only thing that can treat their condition is "the heat of heartsblood"; in other words, the blood of the dead. (It doesn't particularly matter, Bela has found out, if the blood is still hot or not. It does feel better that way, though.)

As the most able-bodied of the trio of siblings, Bela has gone into assassin work in order to provide for his older brother and sister monetarily as well as procure the blood needed in order to let them live as normally as possible. The stress of having to grow up quickly when he was younger as well as holding responsibility for the well-being of his immediate family has taken its toll on him, although he is doing his best to keep it together. His siblings' acceptance of his work helps somewhat, although his brother, Ronan, wishes he didn't need to do it at all while his sister, Toni, laments not being able to be the one in Bela's place.

Assassination outside of the main goal of harvesting blood for his siblings is little more than something to pay for rent and groceries to him, as well as being a perfect outlet for his frustrations and aggression. To this end, he has garnered a bit of a reputation of undercutting the competition, offering his services at much lower prices in order to get as many bodies as possible.
