Species

Appearance
Faris is a narrow, carefully groomed man whose polished appearance seems assembled rather than lived in. His face is smooth-shaven except for a precise black goatee, and his hands are soft from office work but marked by permanent crescents of blue-black ink beneath the fingernails. He moves with the quick, weightless steps of someone accustomed to avoiding spilled water, angry merchants, and swinging doors. His smile arrives half a heartbeat before his eyes do. A silver tooth flashes when he laughs, an unexpectedly vulgar detail amid his immaculate presentation. He leaves behind the impression of a courteous man trying to keep his entire body from trembling.
“His voice is soft, precise, and carefully modulated, with a habit of lowering itself when discussing anything important. He speaks in polished trade dialect, uses honorifics compulsively, and occasionally loses his elegant diction when frightened.”

Distinguishing Features
A silver-capped front tooth that he hides when smiling
Blue-black ink permanently staining the creases of his fingers
A tiny scar across his left palm shaped like a canal lock
A habit of carrying three identical brass keys, only one of which opens anything
An immaculate appearance paired with eyes that always look one sleepless night from collapse
Voice
“A smooth, dry tenor that always sounds one courteous sentence away from panic”
Clothing
A bottle-green waistcoat beneath a cream silk coat, both cut in the conservative fashion of a senior Factor official. His cuffs are embroidered with tiny gold canal locks. He wears soft leather shoes for silent movement, a burgundy sash containing hidden pockets, and a waterproof accounting coat whose inner lining conceals folded papers.
Body Language
Faris keeps his shoulders slightly raised, as if expecting a blow from above. He smooths his cuffs whenever he lies, taps two fingers against his thumb while calculating risk, and leans toward powerful people while keeping his feet angled toward the nearest exit. When genuinely angry, he becomes perfectly still.
