Magrin Stonevein
Species
Dwarf
Appearance
Magrin is a broad-shouldered dwarf with the dense, compact build of someone who has spent a lifetime walking mine galleries and counting ledgers by lanternlight. His beard is braided into three thick ropes bound with copper wire, though the braids are stiffened with a faint sheen of varnish that makes them look almost lacquered. He wears a tailored merchant's coat over mail, its velvet cuffs immaculate while the hem is stained with coal dust, as if wealth and labor have been stitched into the same garment. His left boot is polished to a mirror shine, while the right has a cracked toe capped in iron, an odd mismatch he insists is practical. He moves with a precise, economical sway, like a metronome that learned to walk, and every gesture feels measured except when he laughs, which is sudden, loud, and unsettlingly warm.
“Smooth, measured, and richly enunciated, with the cadence of a man reading a contract aloud for a crowd that already knows the ending.”

Distinguishing Features
A soot-blackened silver tooth visible when he smiles
A scar across the throat from the cave-in that trapped him as a youth
Copper-beaded beard braids that click faintly when he turns his head
An iron cap on the toe of one boot, worn like a badge of survival
Ledger ink permanently stained into the creases of his right thumb and forefinger
Voice
“Velvet over iron, with the faint rasp of someone who has spent too many winters speaking over forge noise”
Clothing
A dark sapphire merchant's coat with silver-thread trim, a reinforced leather vest hidden beneath, fine wool trousers, one polished boot and one iron-capped boot, signet rings on two fingers, and a heavy pocket-watch chained across his chest
Body Language
He keeps his chin slightly lifted and his hands folded behind his back when asserting authority, but his fingers twitch with the instinct of a man always tallying risk. When he is pleased, one eyebrow rises before the smile appears. When threatened, he shifts his weight onto the iron-capped boot and rolls his shoulders as if preparing for a stage entrance or a fight.
