Fennrik Quill
Head of Commerce Council
Fennrik Quill
Species
Rock Gnome
Appearance
Portly and upright, Fennrik moves like a ledger come to life: deliberate, measured, and always aware of where he can place a stamp. His cheeks are perpetually flushed from long hours bent over ink and accounts. He favors layered waistcoats with hidden pockets stitched inside the lining, each pocket containing slips of paper, a stub quill, or a tiny sealing-wax tube. His fingers are dark with ink stains that never fully wash out; when he gesticulates he leaves faint dots on ledgers, doorframes, and occasionally guests' sleeves. Unexpectedly, he wears a narrow monocle of dull brass that magnifies not text but the faintest glimmer of coin—an odd, almost superstitious affectation that causes him to tilt his head in awkward, charming ways. Though small in stature, his presence fills a room the way a crowded ledger fills a page: dense, important, and a little forbidding.
“Measured, punctuated by accounting metaphors. He ends many sentences with a quiet 'rounded' and prefers short, itemized statements in public; in private he warms to storytelling, recalling the smell of tar-sea and old paper.”

Distinguishing Features
Ink-stained fingertips and a faint ring of permanent ink on the right thumb
Brass monocle that seems to 'catch' light from coins
A small scorch mark on his left elbow from a long-ago bookkeeping accident involving a candled ledger and an enthusiastic apprentice
A faint, precise tattoo of the Nivergarde port mark on his inner wrist
Voice
“Warm alto, quick to laugh in a dry, measured way; enunciates digits and sums with a faint musical cadence.”
Clothing
deep green brocade waistcoat with brass buttons bearing the Commerce Council mark, a crisp cream shirt with ink-blotched cuffs, brown trousers with patched knees, heavy leather pockets-belt, and low polished boots. He tucks a slim ledger-bound codex under his arm at all times.
Body Language
Deliberate and contained: he taps a knuckle three times before each major statement, smooths his waistcoat when nervous, and often leans forward to whisper numbers into an interlocutor's ear.
