Appearance
Jorren is a narrow, weather-beaten man with the posture of someone who has learned to sleep beneath falling branches. His movements are economical and cautious, except when a fever takes him, when his hands suddenly sketch elaborate maps in the air. His face is sunken from weeks in bed, with cracked lips and a pale scar running from his left temple to the corner of his mouth. One side of his body is wrapped in linen stained with medicinal yellow, while the other remains corded with wiry muscle. He looks like a dying traveler until he fixes someone with his clear, watchful gaze. The unexpected contradiction is his immaculate fingernails, carefully scrubbed every morning despite the dirt ground permanently into his knuckles.
“Normally quiet and clipped, with a river-country accent. He speaks in short practical phrases, but his fever visions become poetic, specific, and disturbingly calm.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin scar from the left temple to the corner of the mouth.
Three small, perfectly circular punctures beneath his right shoulder blade.
A brass surveyor's ring fused slightly crooked around his little finger.
A habit of smelling lamp oil before allowing anyone to light a lantern near him.
His left iris contains a faint silver crescent that was not present before the expedition.
Voice
“A dry, low voice weakened by fever, with sudden flashes of sharp authority when he gives field instructions.”
Clothing
A faded expedition shirt, loose hospital trousers, wool socks, and a patched green cloak folded at the foot of his bed. His old boots remain beside him, cleaned but never worn since his return.
Body Language
Jorren keeps his injured side turned away from doors and strangers. His fingers tap silent rhythms against his thigh, stopping only when someone mentions stone, scales, or the western wilderness.
