Species
Firbolg
Appearance
Tall even by firbolg standards, this traveling chef moves like a man half his size and twice his awareness, every step measured so that pots do not clink and grass does not bend loudly underfoot. His skin is the color of weathered moss after rain, patterned with faint vein-like scars that look almost like old wine stain stains when the lantern light catches them. His hair hangs in thick, smoke-gray ropes tied with twine and herb stems, while a single braid over one shoulder is threaded with bottle caps, berry pits, and tiny carved tasting spoons. He wears a travel-stained apron over monk's wraps, and the whole ensemble is immaculate in the places that matter and carelessly patched everywhere else. The unexpected thing about him is that his apron is embroidered with delicate blossoms and a smiling little chicken, making his intimidating size feel oddly gentle.
“Low and steady, with a rural cadence softened by years of travel. He speaks as though each sentence has been tasted first, and he often laughs under his breath before making a point.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent-shaped burn scar on the left forearm that he hides only when meeting old enemies.
A wine-dark ring on one index finger from years of corking bottles and testing barrels.
A tiny brass bell sewn inside his apron that rings only when he moves too quickly, which annoys him immensely.
His blades are engraved with recipe notes in a private shorthand.
He smells faintly of smoke, pear peel, wild fennel, and rain on stone.
Voice
“Warm baritone, with a rasp like a knife sharpening a whetstone and a habit of pausing just long enough to make listeners lean in.”
Clothing
Traveling monk's robes layered beneath a dark leather apron, sturdy boots, fingerless gloves, and a sash filled with spice packets, cork stoppers, and small herb pouches. A wooden shoulder harness carries cookware wrapped in oiled cloth.
Body Language
He stands relaxed but never loose, like a coiled ribbon. In conversation he inclines his head as if tasting the air, and when thinking he rubs his thumb along the inside edge of a cup or blade. His hands are always precise, even when at rest, and his shoulders shift with the balance of a cook carrying hot pans through a crowded room.
