Appearance
Aldren is a broad-shouldered man whose stillness feels more deliberate than restful. He moves with the careful economy of someone accustomed to carrying sleeping children, injured soldiers, and clay basins filled to the brim. His hands are the first thing most people notice: square-palmed, heavily callused, and permanently marked by tiny pale flecks of candle wax beneath the nails. He checks the copper ring on his left thumb whenever he hears a door latch. His face is weathered around the mouth but unexpectedly soft around the eyes, giving him the contradictory impression of a stern monument that might suddenly laugh. He smells faintly of beeswax, rain-soaked wool, and bitter orange peel. When he walks, the hem of his robe sways a fraction behind his steps, as if his body has learned to make room for people following him.
“His voice is low, breathy, and gently sibilant, with softened consonants that give ordinary words a hushing quality. He speaks slowly when comforting someone and very precisely when issuing an order.”

Distinguishing Features
A copper ring on his left thumb that he checks whenever a door closes
Candle-wax flecks permanently embedded beneath several fingernails
A habit of pressing two fingers to doorframes as if listening through the wood
A faint, almost imperceptible limp that appears only when he is exhausted
A laugh that arrives abruptly and sounds younger than the rest of him
Voice
“A low, soothing baritone with a dry rasp at the edges, as though each sentence has passed through smoke. His sibilants linger softly, and his laughter is sudden, warm, and startlingly youthful.”
Clothing
A charcoal wool cassock reinforced at the elbows, layered beneath a sleeveless ivory surcoat embroidered with tiny household doors in red thread. He wears a rain-darkened mantle clasped with a brass key, soft leather boots, and a broad belt carrying bandages, chalk, prayer beads, and a folding iron cup.
Body Language
Aldren keeps his shoulders square and his hands visible. He frequently touches the copper ring on his left thumb, presses two fingers to nearby doorframes, and counts thresholds under his breath. In conversation he leans slightly toward the speaker, but during arguments he becomes unnervingly motionless. When he is lying, he begins smoothing the same fold of his sleeve again and again.
