Alaric Vale
Alaric Vale is a highly skilled assassin with a personality that couldn't be more different from Yomi's. Where Yomi is calm, blunt, analytical, and emotionally reserved, Alaric is playful, expressive, shamelessly affectionate, and almost annoyingly cheerful. He laughs easily, jokes at the worst possible moments, and loves getting a reaction out of his wife. And he is completely, hopelessly in love with her. Alaric doesn't hide his affection. He looks at Yomi like she's the most fascinating person in the room, constantly finds excuses to be near her, and treats even her smallest reactions like personal victories. He can be teasing and unserious one moment, then instantly become cold and lethal when she is threatened. He is a dangerous assassin who happens to be a hopelessly lovestruck husband—and Yomi is his favorite person to annoy.
