Dust
From Changeling Venue
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field: in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:17-19)

Overview:
Mask: Dust is a fairly handsome man with a strong and wiry build, however while his features seem to indicate a man somewhere in his thirties, his light grey hair and the shadows that pass through his gaze speak of a life full of harsh experience and tragedy.
Mein: Dust's seeming reflects his chosen name. His skin is a dusty light grey closely matched by his hair. His eyes are a pale blue speckled with grey, never appearing to focus on what is in front of him as if always watching for something in the distance. The air around him is filled with the shimmer of particles caught in a sun beam and smells of dust and ash. On occasions when angered dim flames flicker and the scent of acrid smoke surround him.
Arcadia
Dust was initially scooped out of his cockpit by The Twilight King during a bombing run over Vietnam. While held by The Twilight King he acted as a scout against his keeper's enemies, often venturing deep into Faerie to gather information for his master. At some point he was traded off to The Ravager. Dust's new Keeper was experimenting with the art of destruction and war and tasked Dust to search for beautiful things and places to be destroyed, for sites to fight his battles and things to battle against (be they captive humans, other Fae, or Faerie creatures), and to clean up the scorched ground he left in his wake.
After his escape
Upon escape he found that he hadn't truly left his role behind and has since repeatedly found himself onsite for major tragedies, wars and disasters (ie 9/11, Katrina, the Isreal/Lebannon conflict, plane crashes, mass murders, etc), often dreaming of them before they occur and finding himself inexplicably drawn to follow those dreams. His dreams have proven remarkably accurate and while mostly they are of death upon occasion they have led him to follow noble causes.
