Tall and angular with a dancer's posture. He moves with small controlled gestures like a man used to keeping secrets close to his chest. His skin is lightly weathered from travel. He wears a heavy embroidered coat that looks ceremonial but bears grease stains at the cuffs from cooking and tinkering. One of his forearms is wrapped in strips of blue-gray cloth beneath which faint, fading arcane tattoos run in spiral patterns. Unexpected element - when he relaxes he absentmindedly polishes a small iron token that looks like a coin but has a child's crayon scratch across one face. His smile is quick and almost apologetic, as if it only surfaces by permission.
