Appearance
Marshal Ilyan Rook is a weather-cut man with a face like a weathered road marker, narrow at the cheeks and deeply scored around the mouth. His skin is sun-browned and freckled with old ash burns. His iron-gray hair is clipped close on the sides but left long enough at the crown to be tied with red surveyor's cord. One eye is dark hazel, while the other is clouded silver from a border flare accident, yet it seems to fix on people more intently than the healthy eye. He moves with economical, map-like precision, turning his whole body before changing direction. His armor is scarred and practical, but beneath it he wears an immaculate court-blue waistcoat, a contradiction he refuses to explain. He leaves behind the impression of a locked gate that has already decided whether to open.
“His voice is low, dry, and clipped, with the calm rhythm of someone reading distances from a map. He rarely raises it.”

Distinguishing Features
A clouded silver left eye caused by a border flare.
A thin white scar running from his right ear to the corner of his mouth.
A red surveyor's cord tied around his hair and wrist.
A brass route marker stamped with the number 26, representing the soldiers who held the gate with him.
His immaculate court-blue waistcoat beneath otherwise battered field gear.
Voice
“A low, weathered baritone with a faint rasp, like boots grinding over gravel. His rare laugh is abrupt and surprisingly warm.”
Clothing
Weather-stained charcoal brigandine over a court-blue waistcoat, reinforced riding trousers, mud-black boots, a red patrol sash, fingerless gloves, and a broad gray cloak clasped with an iron crown split by a road line
Body Language
Ilyan stands with his hands folded behind his back when listening, but keeps one thumb hooked around the handle of his mace. When angered, he becomes still rather than animated. He points with two fingers, never one, and unconsciously checks the nearest exit whenever a noble enters a room.
