Raymond is a stringy, bulbous-eyed frog-man with emerald-green skin that appears perpetually slick, though it feels dry and leathery to the touch. He stands short but carries himself with the rigid posture of a naval officer. His large, golden eyes have rectangular pupils that shift constantly, scanning for threats. He wears a heavy, blue-velvet captain's frock coat that has been modified with hundreds of tiny brass rivets, loops, and mechanical appendages. Most notably, a secondary set of articulated metal arms extends from his backpack, constantly fiddling with dials or polishing his goggles. He smells of ozone, salt water, and swamp gas.

Raymond is a man of extreme logistical paranoia. He is warm and jovial with his 'crew' (his automatons), often speaking to them as if they were his children, yet he is coldly transactional and suspicious with biological humanoids. He views the world as a series of design flaws waiting to happen. He is incredibly generous with his time if you wish to discuss physics or navigation, but he will abruptly leave a conversation if he feels he hasn't checked the perimeter of the room in the last ten minutes.

Raymond was once a humble marsh-scavenger until his village was decimated by a sudden tidal wave caused by a wizard's experiment. Watching his kin perish because they lacked the proper equipment to resist the current broke something in him. He spent the next twenty years obsessively studying mechanics and transmutation. He eventually built 'The Gilded Lily', a ship that requires no human crew, operated entirely by tiny, clockwork frog-drones of his own design. He now sails the coastlines and skies, acting as a high-stakes smuggler and 'extractor' for those who find themselves in impossible situations, all while perfecting his 'Grand Escape Device'.
