Marshal Varkesh Naminsiyesh is a broad-shouldered bronze dragonborn whose presence seems to make doorways narrower. His dark bronze scales are weathered to the texture of hammered metal, with pale salt scars along his throat and forearms. A jagged split runs through his left horn, and the damaged tip has been bound with a narrow ring of black iron. He moves with deliberate economy, never wasting a gesture, yet his immense frame can cross a room with startling speed when someone is in danger. His heavy plate armor is polished to a severe mirror sheen, reflecting torchlight in hard fragments. A simple crimson cloak hangs from his shoulders, its lower edge permanently scorched from the War of Seven Harbors. The unexpected contradiction is his hands: scarred, callused, and powerful enough to crush a spear shaft, yet usually occupied with carefully mending torn gloves, binding wounded soldiers' fingers, or sorting tiny brass counters on a logistics map.
