Hobgoblin
Appearance
Bruk is a compact hobgoblin with brick-red skin, a long lower canine, and shoulders made narrow by a lifetime of squeezing through places built for smaller people. His face is weathered rather than scarred, with a flattened nose that bends slightly left and a white crescent of old burn tissue under his right eye. He moves with an unsettling softness, placing each foot as if the floor might remember him. His hands are broad, square-fingered, and stained permanently with blue-black ink. The unexpected contradiction is his immaculate smile: every tooth is filed, polished, and capped with tiny slivers of pale river shell, making him look briefly like a cheerful undertaker when he grins.
“Low, dry, and carefully paced. Bruk sounds as if every sentence has been checked against a written record before leaving his mouth.”

Distinguishing Features
Blue-black ink stains across both palms that never fully wash away.
A crescent-shaped burn scar beneath the right eye.
River-shell caps on his filed teeth.
A brass funeral token worn around his wrist.
His hooked rapier has a pommel shaped like a closed counting hand.
Voice
“A soft baritone with clipped consonants and a faint Darn Vok accent. He speaks more warmly when addressing children, animals, or people who are pretending not to be afraid.”
Clothing
A charcoal-gray longcoat with one sleeve replaced by quilted red cloth, a high-collared linen shirt, soft black trousers, and mud-colored boots with split soles for quiet footing. He wears a brass funeral token on a cord around his wrist instead of his neck. The coat is patched with thread that matches no other color in his wardrobe.
Body Language
Bruk keeps his elbows close, angles his body toward the nearest exit, and rests two fingers on whatever object he considers most valuable. He smiles without showing his shell-capped teeth when uneasy. When deeply moved, he becomes perfectly still, as if trying not to disturb the moment.
