Appearance
A lean, ash-dusted human with a weathered, almost candle-wax complexion and hands that look permanently stained by grave soil. He moves with a careful, listening gait, as if the floor itself might speak if he steps too loudly. His left eye is milky silver from an old wound, while the other is a sharp autumn brown that seems to miss nothing. He wears a neat contradiction of fine priestly linen under a soot-black work apron, and he smells faintly of incense, wet iron, and crushed rosemary. The oddest thing about him is his smile, which is warm and apologetic, even when he is carrying a lantern full of ghostlight.
“Low and measured, with the calm of a funeral bell and the firmness of a man who has learned that kindness must sometimes have edges. He often speaks as if addressing both the living and the dead in the same room.”

Distinguishing Features
A milky silver left eye from the Chapel of White Ash fire
A brass lantern that glows with pale blue ghostlight
A healed scar across the throat that flutters when he chants
Blackened fingertips from grave soil and ash
A rosary made of tiny coffin nails and river stones
Voice
“A low, steady baritone with a papery rasp at the edges, as if he spent too many years speaking prayers in cold rooms. He sounds kind, tired, and impossible to rush.”
Clothing
A charcoal priest's coat reinforced with a gravekeeper's apron, iron-buttoned boots, fingerless gloves, and a lantern chain worn across the chest like a sash. His belt holds chalk, sealing wax, a prayer knife, and a tiny shovel.
Body Language
He keeps his shoulders slightly hunched in a protective way, but straightens instantly when addressing the bereaved. His fingers are always busy with a rosary of bone and brass. When he is concerned, he tilts his head as though trying to hear a distant hymn.
