All Eyes is a lean wood elf man with sun-browned skin, long ash-brown hair tied with mismatched bits of colored thread, and alert green eyes that seem to measure every exit, pocket, and expression in the room. He dresses like a traveling confidence man, favoring a weathered burgundy coat over practical dark leathers, with a rapier at his hip and a small collection of false rings on his fingers. Within a minute of meeting him, most people notice that he constantly checks the position of a brass signet ring, turning it around his finger whenever he is thinking. When he laughs, he shows a broad, slightly uneven smile and taps his front teeth together as if testing whether they are still there.

All Eyes is charming, observant, and almost compulsively curious. He treats every conversation like a card game, tracking who is bluffing, who is frightened, and who believes they are in control. He enjoys helping people, but prefers to make his assistance look like profitable self-interest. Beneath the practiced confidence is a restless fear of being trapped in one identity or judged by one mistake.

All Eyes was raised among the hidden paths and watchful groves of a wood elf community, where every stranger was evaluated before they were welcomed near the fires. He learned early that attention was a kind of currency. A glance held too long, a hand resting near a purse, a hesitation before answering a simple question, all of them told stories. He became fascinated by the difference between what people saw and what they believed they saw, and he began practicing small deceptions for amusement, first with painted stones and borrowed names, then with entire performances staged for passing merchants. His talent attracted a traveling troupe of swindlers who taught him the practical arts of forgery, disguise, sleight of hand, and escape. Their lessons were profitable until one of their schemes targeted the wrong magistrate. All Eyes took the blame for a forged inheritance claim that had been designed by someone else, then vanished before the authorities could decide whether to hang him or recruit him. Since then, he has traveled under a dozen identities, occasionally helping people who remind him of his old forest home, though never admitting that sentiment is involved. He calls himself All Eyes because he prefers to be the one noticing everything, and because the name makes people wonder what he knows.
