Appearance
Kellen is a man whose physical presence is entirely at odds with his profession. He has the soft, sloping shoulders and narrow frame of a lifetime scholar, now buried under a set of heavy chain mail that clanks loosely with every step. His skin is the color of parchment, rarely seeing the sun, and his fingers are permanently stained with a gradient of black and indigo ink. The most striking element of his appearance is his blue tabard, featuring a black fist, which is meticulously clean but pinned at the shoulders to keep it from dragging. He moves with a frantic, bird-like precision, constantly adjusting a sword belt that sits too low on his slender hips. He gives off the impression of a child playing dress-up in his father's war-gear, yet his gaze is sharp and analytical.
“His speech is a strange mixture of high-court formality and poorly executed military slang. He often starts sentences with 'Listen here, soldier!' but ends them with complex academic vocabulary.”

Alignment
Distinguishing Features
Permanent ink stains on the cuticles of both hands
A nervous facial tic that makes his left eyebrow jump when he lies
A heavy silver signet ring worn on a chain around his neck rather than his finger
Voice
“A practiced, slightly nasal baritone that cracks when he is genuinely frightened.”
Clothing
He wears an oversized suit of infantry chain mail that jingles incessantly. Over this sits a vibrant cobalt-blue tabard featuring a black fist clenched in a heraldic grip. A red woolen scarf, slightly frayed, is tucked into his collar to prevent the metal from chafing his neck.
Body Language
He stands too straight, as if trying to add an inch to his height, but his hands are always busy fiddling with his collar or smoothing out his tabard.
