Appearance
Valerius is a gaunt man who moves with the frantic, jerky energy of a clockwork toy wound too tight. He is surprisingly tall and skeletal, causing him to loom over his staff. His skin is pale and translucent, mapped with a web of fine blue veins and numerous burn scars on his forearms. He is immaculately groomed except for his eyebrows, which are perpetually thick with flour dust, and his fingernails, which are scrubbed raw. He smells intensely of saffron, vinegar, and nervous sweat. Despite his high status, he wears an apron that is a chaotic tapestry of grease and wine stains, which contrasts sharply with the expensive purple silk cravat tucked neatly into his collar.
“Clipping his words with surgical precision, Valerius speaks in rapid-fire bursts. He uses overly complex culinary terms to confuse others and often speaks about himself in the third person when he is particularly stressed.”
