Appearance
Hesk has a broad, weather-softened face and a belly that suggests he eats well, though the rest of him is wiry from hauling crates and climbing embankments. He moves with a dockworker's economical confidence, placing his weight on the balls of his feet as if a floor might suddenly become a gangplank. A flat brass route-token hangs at his chest on a cord; its lower edge is polished nearly smooth from years of his thumb worrying it. Unexpectedly, his hands are immaculate, nails scrubbed clean even after a day in the bilges.
“Plain and unhurried, with a low river-country cadence. He speaks in short, workmanlike sentences and rarely raises his voice; when angry, his words become more polite and more precise.”

Distinguishing Features
A brass route-token worn smooth along its lower edge from constant thumb-rubbing.
Immaculately clean hands that contrast with his dockworker's coat and boots.
A habit of standing poised on his toes, as if the ground might begin moving.
Voice
“A low, dry baritone with a faint rasp, like rope drawn across wet wood. His laugh is a short exhale that sounds surprised to have escaped.”
Clothing
A brown wool coat patched at the elbows with sailcloth, a high-necked linen shirt, soft-soled boots, and a faded blue scarf knotted loosely at the wrist. His pockets are stitched to lie flat and make no sound.
Body Language
When waiting, he rests his weight on the balls of his feet and angles himself toward the nearest exit. His thumb rubs the worn lower edge of his brass route-token when he is thinking; when he has made up his mind, the hand goes still.
