Appearance
Sahrun is a broad-shouldered Black man with the compact, balanced build of someone trained to fight on narrow rooftops and moving wagons. His skin has a deep umber tone with a faint sheen from the scented oil he rubs into it before patrols. He stands with most of his weight on the balls of his feet, as though the ground has just become unreliable. His movements are quiet and economical, but when he turns, his long coat fans out a heartbeat later than expected, giving him the unsettling impression of moving through water. His hair is worn in short, tightly coiled twists threaded with small brass rings, each ring etched with the name of someone he failed to save. He has a generous mouth, a carefully trimmed beard, and a pair of red-tinted blood-glass spectacles that make his calm eyes appear black. The contradictory detail is his hands: heavily callused and scarred from sword work, yet he keeps his nails immaculately clean and paints their edges with pale blue dye. People remember the soft hiss of his breath before he speaks, the faint smell of clove smoke, and the two narrow blades burning like blue-white stove flames at his sides.
“Low, measured, and gently raspy. He speaks with a careful rhythm influenced by dockside trade speech and mountain formalities.”

Distinguishing Features
Blue-tinted blood-glass spectacles that reflect flame like a thin crescent moon.
Brass rings threaded through his short twists, each engraved with the name of a person lost on the Saltglass Pass.
A faint clove and hot-metal scent around him, strongest when he is frightened.
He unconsciously taps the pommels of both rapiers in alternating rhythm, like a drummer keeping time.
His left palm bears a neat circular brand used to focus his first successful hemocraft rite.
Voice
“A warm baritone with a dry edge, as though every sentence has been polished before he allows it into the room.”
Clothing
A charcoal longcoat lined in rust-red silk, worn over a sleeveless quilted vest and loose black trousers tucked into soft leather boots. Copper thread traces protective geometric patterns across the coat cuffs. He wears a blue scarf wrapped twice around his throat, a belt of ceramic blood vials, and a single white glove on his left hand to keep fresh blood from staining his weapon grip.
Body Language
When waiting, Sahrun balances on one heel with the other foot angled toward the nearest exit. He rarely folds his arms. Instead, he rests one hand lightly over each sword hilt, not gripping them, just reminding himself they are there. Before speaking, he draws a slow breath through his nose and presses his tongue briefly against the roof of his mouth. When amused, he tilts his head down while looking up through his spectacles.
