Ashton moves with a measured, deliberate grace, his lithe frame wrapped in a well-worn dark leather coat that whispers on the stone like the secrets he keeps. His skin bears the pallor of long nights without rest, contrasted by the sharp gleam of striking steel-blue eyes that seem to pierce through lies and smoke alike. His dark hair is peppered with premature silver streaks, rough to the touch, often tousled as if he’s just run his fingers through it in frustration. An unexpected contradiction lies in his right hand - a delicate silver ring engraved with a forgotten holy symbol, a remnant of a life never lived. His presence is unsettling yet magnetic, the scent of strong liquor mingling faintly beneath layers of musk and cold iron.
