Ormendi Vezsen is a slender half-elf with the careful, slightly stooped posture of someone who has spent decades leaning over manuscripts, yet he moves with sudden, startling grace when a book is endangered. His skin is warm olive with a faint dusting of pale freckles across his nose. His dark brown hair falls in soft waves to his jaw, threaded with premature silver, and is usually pinned behind one ear with a brass page marker. His long elven ears are nicked at the tips from an old fire. He has gentle features, narrow hands, and ink permanently embedded in the creases of his fingers. The unexpected contradiction is his left eye, which is bright green and alert, while his right eye is clouded and nearly blind, though it reflects candlelight like polished glass. He leaves behind an impression of quiet warmth, dry paper, and restrained panic.
