Fan Casting Alek Sorne in Red Dust Gospel

Leader of the Brass Thorn Pact, a Ravari supremacist gang masquerading as a “settler militia.” His men raid mixed communities, target Maruun caravans, and destabilize border towns. They brand themselves with soldered metal thorns and ritual scars, each mark earned through blood spilled. Sorne was never religious, until he heard Father Varn preach. Now, he’s loosely allied with the New Pentecost. He sees Vera as the final betrayal: a Ravari child tainted by prophecy and protected by a Maruun killer. That cannot stand.
