PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What to know
Quan Rui is linked to Dog guardianship, tracking bonds and the recognition of betrayal. His Seal’s appeal is loyalty that acts, not loyalty that merely announces itself.
A defender must reckon with the wound protection passes onward.
Quan Rui puts a human cost on the Academy's language of protection. Tracking bonds and betrayal-sense might help a guardian recognize danger, but the Dog's wound-sharing price means that preventing harm is not the same as escaping it. The interesting question in Quan's dossier is whom a promise protects when two obligations cannot both be fulfilled. The Dog Seal record explains the general rule; this portrait asks what loyalty demands of the person living with it.
