Species
Human
Appearance
Bako is a broad-shouldered human with the dense, work-hardened frame of someone who has spent half his life bracing against moving weight. His hands are large and dry, with rope-burn polish along the palms, while his movements are unexpectedly quiet for a man built like a gatepost. He watches doorways before faces and settles into any seat as though measuring the room for an ambush. A small brass harness buckle is always under his thumb, rubbed bright at its lower edge and green with age in the grooves. The contradictory impression is immediate: he looks capable of breaking a man's arm, yet handles frightened animals and chipped cups with exquisite gentleness.
“His voice is low, dry, and carefully paced. He leaves deliberate spaces between facts, as if giving each one room to prove itself.”

Distinguishing Features
A brass harness buckle is always beneath his thumb, polished bright only along its lower edge.
He smells faintly of wet leather, horse liniment, and woodsmoke.
His left boot has been resoled with red-dyed leather, making a soft, distinctive tap on stone.
He remembers wagon wheel patterns with unsettling precision.
Voice
“A low baritone worn smooth by weather, with a faint rasp at the edges. He sounds like someone speaking from beneath a wagon awning while rain taps the canvas.”
Clothing
A rain-dark leather coat hangs over a padded brown vest and coarse linen shirt. His trousers are reinforced at the knees, his boots are caked with several colors of road clay, and a faded red scarf is knotted around his wrist rather than his neck. A heavy belt carries tools, wedges, and a plain iron knife.
Body Language
Bako sits with his back to a wall whenever possible, one boot planted hard and the other angled toward the door. His thumb repeatedly rubs the lower edge of his brass harness buckle. When someone lies, he does not stare them down. He looks instead at their boots, hands, and the direction their body is already preparing to flee.
