Kalo is a towering figure with pale, slate-blue skin and white geometric tattoos that look like frost. He wears simple, linen wraps and a heavy wool shawl. He always seems to be surrounded by a faint, cool mist.

Kalo is the embodiment of a gentle breeze. He speaks slowly and softly, rarely rising to anger, and finds humor in the smallest natural occurrences. He values stillness over action.

Born in the high peaks of the Spine of the World, Kalo was once a fierce hunter of his tribe. However, after witnessing a massive avalanche that moved with a terrifying grace, he realized that true power comes from yielding rather than resisting. He abandoned the hunt to sit atop the Peak of Eternal Silence, learning to match his breath to the howling wind. For a decade, Kalo did nothing but guide occasional lost travelers and meditate in the snow. He recently descended because he felt a spiritual discord in the lowlands that threatened the silence of his mountain home. Now, he travels with the calm of a man who has already seen the end of the world and found it peaceful.
