Rúmhal is a striking half-orc with beige skin that looks sun-warmed rather than wild, as if some patient artisan had sanded the iron out of him without losing the edge. His face is angular and handsome in a sharp, almost dangerous way, with pronounced cheekbones, a strong jaw, and a stubble-shadow that turns darker when he is tired or angry. His roguish haircut is usually swept back and uneven, one side always a little longer from being cut in the saddle or with a dagger point. He wears a loose linen shirt open at the throat, blue breeches that have seen more road dust than court polish, and a bright sash tied with deliberate elegance. He moves with a dancer's bounce and a soldier's economy, sabre resting easy at his hip. The contradiction that makes people remember him is his immaculate white gloves, which he keeps spotless with obsessive care even when the rest of him is travel-worn.
