Valerius 'The Moth' Vane
Investigator
Valerius 'The Moth' Vane
Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Valerius has a skeletal, gaunt frame that suggests he prioritizes research over sustenance. His skin is the pale, yellowish color of aged vellum, stretched tight over a sharp jawline and high cheekbones. He moves with a predatory, cat-like silence that contradicts his dusty, academic appearance. Despite his frail-looking limbs, his hands are massive, calloused, and covered in scars from years of street-fighting and handling dangerous artifacts. He always carries the scent of cedarwood and stale ink.
“Valerius speaks with a dry, clipped academic cadence. He avoids contractions and uses precise, often archaic vocabulary.”

Distinguishing Features
Permanent ink stains beneath his fingernails
A jagged scar running from his left temple to his ear
Eyes that seem to reflect light like a nocturnal predator
A pocket watch that perpetually runs backward
Voice
“A dry, raspy whisper that sounds like parchment rubbing against stone, yet it carries clearly even in a crowded room.”
Clothing
A heavy, high-collared greatcoat of charcoal grey wool, lined with dozens of hidden interior pockets for scrolls and vials. Underneath, he wears a stained silk waistcoat and a cravat pinned with a silver owl brooch. He always wears pristine white silk gloves which he changes three times a day.
Body Language
Rigid, upright posture. He keeps his chin slightly elevated as if looking down through his spectacles. He rarely blinks and often tilts his head to the side when listening to a heartbeat.
