Barnaby Conductor Thorne
Bard
Barnaby Conductor Thorne
Species
Mountain Dwarf
Appearance
Barnaby is a boulder of a dwarf with a beard the color of anthracite coal, meticulously braided into three thick coils that resemble locomotive pistons. His skin is etched with fine lines of soot that no amount of scrubbing can fully remove, giving him a permanent shadowed look. He moves with a surprising, rhythmic grace, his heavy boots striking the floorboards in a perfect staccato beat. The most contradictory element of his appearance is his hands: while his palms are calloused from heavy labor, his fingers are long and nimble, topped with polished, manicured nails that seem more suited to a harpsichordist than a miner.
“Rhythmic and punctuated, often using railway metaphors. He speaks with a deep, percussive resonance.”
