Brannik Embercask
Arcane Trickster Rogue
Brannik Embercask
Species
Hill Dwarf
Appearance
A lean, weather-tough hill dwarf with soot on one cheek and careful hands that look better suited to glasswork than war. His beard is braided into three cords, each wrapped with thin copper wire and tiny bone beads that click softly when he moves. He wears a travel-stained coat over practical work clothes, but the coat lining is stitched with a hidden pattern of star charts in silver thread. He walks with a measured, almost priestly calm, yet his eyes dart with the alertness of a thief counting exits. The most unexpected thing about him is a bright yellow scholar's ribbon tied to his spear haft, as if he borrowed it from a library and never meant to give it back.
“Low, deliberate, and warm when he trusts someone. He speaks with the rhythm of someone who has memorized prayers, inventory lists, and names of the dead.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent burn scar on his left temple that glows faintly in torchlight.
Three braided beard cords bound with copper wire and bone beads.
A thumb-sized amber lantern charm that never seems to dim.
A small brass key sewn into the hem of his coat lining.
A missing notch from the tip of his right ear, taken by a cave hound.
Voice
“A gravelly baritone with a surprisingly soft edge, like stone warmed by a hearth. He sounds tired in the way of someone who has carried grief for years, but never careless.”
Clothing
A dark wool coat reinforced with leather patches, a waxed apron folded into a travel sash, stout boots with copper buckles, fingerless gloves, and a belt hung with lanterns, keys, chalk, and a hip flask wrapped in red cloth
Body Language
Still and deliberate when calm, but with sudden flinches toward shadows and exits. He keeps one hand near his lantern or spear as if anchoring himself to the world.
