Species
Tiefling
Appearance
Kesh is a narrow-shouldered tiefling with the stillness of a heron waiting beside dark water. He does not slouch so much as fold inward, keeping his center of balance low and his horns beneath the room's visual clutter. His hands are unusually memorable: long-fingered, dark at the knuckles, and permanently roughened along the fingertips from years of handling waxed cord, lockpicks, coins, and rough wooden shutters. His tail moves in small, deliberate corrections, never quite still. He leaves the impression of a man already listening to the next room. The contradiction is that his severe, watchful face becomes almost tender whenever he handles chipped ceramic cups, which he repairs with careful gold-colored resin.
“His voice is low, dry, and unhurried, with a faint rasp like a match being struck far away. He often speaks in fragments, but when giving directions he becomes exact and almost musical.”

Distinguishing Features
A pair of swept-back horns with their tips polished smooth from years of brushing against doorframes.
A black tail marked by a natural pale band near the tip, which he wraps once around a chair leg when concentrating.
A small brass handbell with no clapper, always hanging inside his waistcoat and worn bright only along one side from constant thumb rubbing.
Fingertips roughened into fine ridges, making his touch feel almost like sanded wood.
A habitually lowered gaze that makes his sudden direct eye contact feel startlingly intimate.
Voice
“Quiet and textured, with a patient cadence that makes every pause feel intentional.”
Clothing
A smoke-gray shirt with the sleeves rolled to the elbows, a faded oxblood waistcoat, close-fitting black trousers, and soft-soled boots. His leather armor is worn beneath the shirt and has been patched with pieces of old tavern banners. He wears a braided green cord around his left wrist, tied in seven tight knots.
Body Language
Kesh sits angled toward the room's most dangerous line of approach, with one boot hooked around the chair leg and his shoulders slightly forward. His left hand rests near his knife while his right index finger taps wood, glass, or his own knee whenever danger approaches. He rarely turns his head quickly. Instead, his eyes shift first, then his horns, then the rest of him.
