Appearance
Brother Taelan is a narrow-shouldered young man with the exhausted posture of someone who has spent years lifting other people's burdens. His movements are careful and economical, but his hands are remarkably steady even during panic. His face is soft-featured and prematurely lined around the eyes, with a tiny scar crossing the bridge of his nose. He smells faintly of boiled linen, woodsmoke, and crushed mint. The unexpected contradiction is his smile: it is broad, mischievous, and almost boyish, appearing most often while he is discussing grief, injury, or death.
“Soft and deliberate, with a rural cadence and occasional formal religious phrasing. He lowers his voice around the sick and speaks with startling clarity during emergencies.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin scar across the bridge of his nose.
A red cord around his wrist tied in seven increasingly complicated knots.
Permanent gray staining beneath his fingernails from medicinal charcoal.
A left ear notched from a childhood cart accident.
Keeps one eye slightly narrowed when concentrating, giving him a skeptical expression even when he is being kind.
Voice
“A quiet tenor with a rough edge, like a song sung after too many sleepless nights. When giving instructions, his voice becomes unexpectedly firm and carries across a crowded camp.”
Clothing
A patched ash-gray robe beneath a stained leather apron, wrapped forearm guards, soft mud-dark boots, and a red cord bearing Ilmater's symbolic knots. His outer cloak is made from mismatched blankets sewn together by refugees.
Body Language
Taelan leans toward people when they speak, as if physically trying to lessen the distance between their pain and his understanding. When lying, he folds and refolds a strip of linen. When angry, he becomes unnaturally still and places both hands flat on the nearest table.
