Appearance
Brant Hallow is a broad-shouldered human with a perpetual forward lean, as if he is always listening for the next bell over the shop door. His hands are scarred and surprisingly delicate, with clean nails and ink-dark calluses from counting coins and marking stock. His left sleeve is always rolled slightly higher than the right, revealing a silvered brace stitched with old watch springs. He smells faintly of cedar shelves, lamp oil, rain-damp wool, and the spiced tea he drinks by the gallon. The oddest thing about him is the contrast between his stern, iron-straight posture and the soft, almost scholarly way he handles fragile goods, like a priest blessing relics.
“Measured, warm, and exact, with the tone of a man who has repeated an offer a thousand times and still means it. He uses trade metaphors constantly, especially about debts, weather, and home repairs.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin white scar across the bridge of his nose from a warehouse beam
One ear partly torn from a childhood brawl that he insists was 'purely educational'
An old silver watch permanently sewn into the cuff of his coat lining
Ledger stains on three fingertips that never fully wash away
A small prayer charm hidden under his apron, wrapped in red thread
Voice
“Low, steady, and dryly amused, with a habit of ending sharp statements on a gentler note”
Clothing
A charcoal vest over a cream shirt with rolled sleeves, a brass-buttoned apron lined with pockets, polished but worn boots, and a dark green shop coat with stitched inner patches from old repairs. He wears a cracked signet ring on a cord around his neck rather than on his finger, and his spectacles are tied together with thread at one temple.
Body Language
Keeps his chin slightly tucked and his shoulders squared, moving in short efficient bursts behind the counter. When thinking, he taps two fingers against his thumb like he's sorting invisible coins. In rare moments of tenderness, his whole frame seems to soften at the elbows and neck.
