Broad-shouldered and compact, he moves with a careful economy of motion that suggests practice and habit. His skin is freckled from years at sea and in sunlit fields. A diagonal pale scar runs from the left eyebrow down to his cheek, puckered and silver. He favors a layered look of weather-stained quilted gambeson under a dull chain shirt, with a battered round shield slung on his back when not carried. The unexpected element is a single bright, red ribbon braided into the tassel of his belt; he keeps it neat and ceremonious even when everything else looks worn.
