Gavel Orri
Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Gavel is a narrow-shouldered, long-limbed half-elf with the careful posture of a stage performer and the battered hands of a dockworker. He moves in sudden angled shifts, as if always avoiding invisible puddles. His face is handsome only in fragments: a crooked nose, a deep cleft in his chin, and a smile that arrives a heartbeat too late. His clothes are meticulously mended, yet his boots are always caked with expensive red sealing wax. He gives the contradictory impression of someone both theatrical and exhausted, like a celebrated actor who has spent the night sleeping beneath a market stall.
“His voice is soft, musical, and slightly rough at the edges, with unexpected stresses that make ordinary sentences sound like remembered song lyrics. He speaks quickly when lying and slowly when telling the truth.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin scar crosses his lower lip and pulls one side of his smile upward.
The fingertips of his left hand are permanently stained blue from enchanted ink.
A silver thread is sewn beneath the skin of his right wrist, forming a tiny broken circle.
His shadow sometimes moves a fraction of a second after he does.
He has a small brass bell tied inside his coat that rings only when someone nearby intends betrayal.
Voice
“A low tenor with a dry rasp, warm enough to invite confidence and precise enough to make insults sound like compliments.”
Clothing
A wine-red waistcoat beneath a weatherproof gray coat, both lined with mismatched scraps of embroidered silk. He wears fingerless gloves, polished brass earrings, a blue scarf tied in an old caravan style, and boots reinforced with thin strips of steel. Several seams conceal pockets large enough for letters, lockpicks, or a small flask.
Body Language
He tilts his head while listening, fingers tapping irregular rhythms against his wrist. When angry, he becomes unnaturally still and folds his hands as though waiting for a judge's verdict. When genuinely happy, he forgets to perform and looks briefly much younger.
