Irami Kxurvát Némek
Species
Human
Appearance
A tiny, elderly man whose body seems reduced by hunger rather than age alone. His movements are precise and abrupt, like a wary animal deciding whether the world has become dangerous. His ash-darkened skin is marked with faded geometric bands, and his ribs show beneath his clothing. His hands are scarred from years of climbing stonework and resetting traps. Despite his emaciation, he has a surprisingly dignified posture when standing watch. The contradictory impression is that he looks close to death but reacts with the speed and focus of someone half his age. He leaves almost no sound behind, yet every room feels occupied after he has passed through it.
“Sparse, breathy, and heavily accented. He speaks in broken Portuguese and learned English fragments, often repeating a phrase until he believes it has been understood.”

Distinguishing Features
A vertical scar runs from his left temple to the corner of his mouth.
His ash markings have been renewed so many times that the skin beneath them is permanently gray.
He has a missing little finger on his right hand, lost while disarming one of Ashcombe's vault traps.
His pupils contract sharply whenever the fetish is nearby, even when he cannot see it.
He carries a bundle of charcoal sketches showing the same faceless hunter in forests, ship holds, railway stations, and Blackwood Hall.
Voice
“A dry whisper with long pauses, as though each sentence must pass through an internal warning. His Portuguese is practical and old-fashioned. His English consists mostly of nouns, commands, and repeated phrases.”
Clothing
A patched bundle of stolen and scavenged garments: a faded linen shirt, brown waistcoat, child's wool trousers cut short at the knees, cloth wrappings around his feet, and a rain-dark green cloak sewn from curtain fabric. Beneath the shirt he wears a woven cord bearing a tiny piece of pale river shell.
Body Language
He crouches near walls, keeps his shoulders angled toward exits, and turns his whole body toward windows while leaving his face pointed at the speaker. When frightened, he presses two fingers beneath his eyes, then points upward. When someone earns his trust, he sits with his back exposed for only a few seconds before checking the room again.
