A lanky young man with long golden hair pulled tightly behind his head and tied so that it falls down his narrow back. He dresses simply in a short-sleeved tunic, dark blue leggings, and tall leather boots, carrying himself with the relaxed confidence of a traveling musician.

Personality
Curious, thoughtful, independent-minded, idealistic, and socially perceptive. Strik is friendly and conversational, but not naive; when Bengent shows unusual interest in the House of Ords, Strik quickly becomes cautious and clarifies that he carries no money and comes from no wealth. He enjoys discussing ideas and is willing to challenge assumptions about money, status, government, and social organization.

House of Ords
skills / abilities
Strik is a gifted musician talented enough to be recruited by the House of Ords to study music. He plays the tanbur and is capable of joining another musician almost immediately, weaving his playing into Edwin’s performance with ease. His intellectual curiosity is also notable, particularly his interest in social structures and alternative ways communities might organize themselves.
history / lore
Strik encounters Bengent while passing through Freeflower on his way to the House of Ords. Drawn inside Val Roway’s inn by Edwin’s playing, he introduces himself to the disguised prince and explains that the school recruited him specifically to study music, granting him an exception despite his lack of wealth.
Their conversation soon becomes philosophical. Strik expresses admiration for Freeflower’s rejection of currency, arguing that a society organized around contribution and personal passion can encourage mastery, cooperation, and meaningful work. His views challenge Bengent’s assumptions about prosperity, hierarchy, and the Eversteels’ exclusive control of Eversteel.
Their debate ends not with a resolution but with music: Strik joins Edwin on tanbur while Val sings, turning their ideological disagreement into one of the more human moments of Bengent’s journey.
