Shoulders-up portrait showing a lean athletic man about 5'10". Skin is lightly tanned with a few faint pale scars near the collarbone and jaw. Dark brown shoulder-length hair is slightly tousled and loosely tied back with a worn leather cord, a few sunlit highlights catching at the tips. High cheekbones and an angular jawline are framed by a short, well-groomed beard that emphasizes a strong chin. He wears a dark hood pulled up so the lower half of his face often sits in shadow. Form-fitting studded leather around the shoulders shows many small pockets and sewn loops for tools. He cradles a small intricately carved wooden token between thumb and forefinger, and the token is worn smooth from years of rubbing. Movement suggests a quiet, coiled readiness; he tilts his head as if always listening. Unexpected element: when he smiles his left canine has a small gold cap, a flash at odds with his otherwise shadowed, utilitarian appearance.
