Appearance
Lex-4 has a sleek pale frame of polished white porcelain-composite plating fitted over a dark steel internal chassis. Its immaculate faceplate bears only three elegant etched lines around its optical sensors, giving it the unsettling impression of a serene mask with no mouth. Every movement is exact, quiet, and economical, except when it is angry, at which point its fingers begin tapping in frantic legal punctuation against its own palm. Its porcelain surfaces are usually spotless, yet a single deliberate smear of black canal grease crosses its left shoulder and is never cleaned away. It moves like a court stenographer taught to dance, gliding around obstacles without looking at them. The impression it leaves is one of fragile refinement backed by something industrial, patient, and very difficult to stop.
“Soft, measured, and mechanically articulated, with a distinct click between every few phrases. Lex-4 pauses before emotionally significant statements as though selecting a clause from an immense internal archive.”

Distinguishing Features
A black canal-grease smear permanently marks its left shoulder.
Its optical sensors briefly display handwritten script when it detects a lie.
Fine precision nibs and sealing-wax applicators replace the tips of its articulated fingers.
A hairline crack runs through its right cheekplate, repaired with translucent amber resin.
Its Brasswater Exchange insignia has been deliberately crossed out.
Voice
“A low, delicate synthetic voice with a faint resonance like a spoon tapped against porcelain. Each click in the modulation becomes sharper when Lex-4 is lying by omission.”
Clothing
A tailored slate-gray legal clerk's frock coat lined with specialized document pockets, brass thread guards, hidden lock picks, and folded canal maps. Its collar is fastened with a black iron clasp stamped with the Brasswater Exchange seal, which Lex-4 has scratched through with a single diagonal line.
Body Language
Lex-4 stands perfectly upright during formal negotiations, with hands folded behind its back and optical sensors fixed on the speaker's dominant hand. When suspicious, it angles its head exactly seven degrees. When ashamed, it turns its blank faceplate toward reflective surfaces and polishes an already clean fingertip.
