Appearance
A broad, slab-shouldered human with the look of a man hewn from driftwood and bad decisions. His skin is weathered gray-tan from years of salt wind and sawdust, his face pitted and misshapen from an old childhood fever, and his jaw sits crooked beneath a mouth that never seems fully closed. His forearms are rope-thick and scarred, with pale burn marks from pitch and resin, while his hands are enormous, split, and permanently nicked by blade work. He moves with a slow, heavy confidence, each step making him seem more like a loaded workbench than a man. The contradiction that makes people remember him is his immaculate nails, carefully trimmed and polished with bee oil, as if even this ugly brute insists on a craftsman's vanity.
“Low, rough, and gravelly, with the rhythm of someone measuring every sentence for value. He tends to speak in blunt phrases, occasional dock slang, and carpentry metaphors, usually sounding like he's quoting a contract even when he's threatening someone.”

Distinguishing Features
A nose that healed bent to one side after a dock brawl
A crescent of pale burn scars across his left forearm
Two missing teeth that make his sneer look even more predatory
Hands so broad they seem swollen, yet his fingertips are unusually delicate and precise
A small carved gull charm worn inside his shirt, hidden from view
Voice
“A rasping bass with a wet coastal edge, as though he has spent years shouting over surf and hammer strikes”
Clothing
A salt-stiff brown work coat with tar stains on the cuffs, leather apron patched in three places, heavy wool trousers tucked into cracked boots, and a belt crowded with hooks, wedges, awls, and a little brass tally box
Body Language
He stands with his weight forward, like a man forever bracing against a storm surge. His shoulders stay hunched, his chin tucked, and his eyes rarely leave a person's hands, purse, or tools. When lying, he rubs his thumb across a callus on his palm. When pleased, he barely smiles, but his fingers tap out the rhythm of a saw against wood.
