Cassian bin-Tariq al-Verulani
Advocate
Cassian bin-Tariq al-Verulani
Species
Tidewise Human
Appearance
Cassian cuts a sharp figure with clean-cut features, a narrow nose, expressive dark eyes, and dark hair combed into a style so precise it appears measured with a ruler. His movements are economical and forward-leaning, as if every conversation were a negotiation he intends to reach before sunset. His hands are ink-stained at the fingertips, while his polished boots are always dusted with pale salt from the docks. He leaves an impression of severe control, yet his carefully tailored coat conceals a badly mended strip of bright red sailcloth sewn inside the left sleeve, a private reminder of the people he failed to protect.
“His voice is low, clipped, and impeccably enunciated, carrying easily over harbor noise without becoming loud. He uses formal legal vocabulary when cornered, plain dockside language when comforting someone, and a dangerous softness when addressing a superior who has lied.”

Distinguishing Features
Expressive dark eyes that flash with intensity when someone invokes law to excuse cruelty
A thin white scar across his left palm from a broken customs seal
Ink permanently lodged in the creases of his fingertips
A bright red sailcloth patch hidden inside his left sleeve
A silver legal seal engraved with a split wave, symbolizing law divided between authority and justice
Voice
“Measured and resonant, with the dry precision of a courtroom speaker and the faint rasp of someone who spends too much time beside salt wind”
Clothing
A tailored, high-collared advocate's coat of deep charcoal wool trimmed with slate-gray piping, a cream linen shirt, narrow black trousers, polished leather boots, and a weatherproof half-cape fastened with a silver customs clasp. His coat lining is patched with red sailcloth, and a chain from his collar leads to an engraved silver legal seal.
Body Language
Cassian stands with his shoulders square and his chin slightly lowered, giving the impression that he is listening through a storm. He taps the edge of his folio whenever someone invokes tradition. In anger, he becomes completely still except for one thumb rubbing the raised edge of his silver seal.
