A lean young man who moves with the practiced silence of a cat and the sudden coiled power of a striking snake. His skin often looks damp in low light as if he carries a sheen of riverwater. He wears his hair shaved close at the temples with a long, cropped topknot braided with a single silver thread. The left side of his face has a faint pale scar that runs from temple to jawline and looks almost decorative when he smiles. Unexpectedly, he favors a child's bright red scarf tied around his wrist; it flutters when he walks and seems incongruous with his otherwise muted leathers.
