Story so far
Sevro proves the linchpin of victory's aftermath: trusted above all others, he splices the Olympus holo-record into the story Darrow needs the Drafters to see, damning the Proctors' rigging while shaping the legend of the Reaper. But their brief conversation afterward chills Darrow — Sevro admits the storm audio of Darrow's last words to Apollo was "scrambled," so he deleted it. One of those words was "bloodydamn," a word no Gold says.
That Sevro thought it worth hiding suggests the one-eyed Goblin senses what Darrow truly is, and has chosen to protect him. He stands among Darrow's lieutenants at the final ceremony, his loyalty now shaded with a knowing that neither of them speaks aloud, as the game ends and the wider world beckons.

Very small and wiry, drab khaki-toned skin, cruel hawk-like face, khaki teeth; one eye, the other a scarred socket, wolfskin-cloaked.
