Rhork the Muted
Shadow-Stitcher Captain
Rhork the Muted
Species
Bugbear
Appearance
Rhork is a large bugbear cover in head to toe of soot-colored fur and corded muscle who moves with the impossible, liquid silence of a drifting cloud. His frame is elongated, with arms that reach past his knees, allowing him to scuttle on all fours like a massive insect.r, His face is bisected by a jagged scar of braided silver wire that holds his throat together. His eyes are his most unsettling feature: they are milky, pupilless spheres of white that never seem to blink. He carries an aura of absolute stillness, often mistaken for a statue until his long, needle-like fingers begin to twitch in complex patterns.
“Rhork does not speak. He communicates through rapid, blurring hand gestures, sharp clicks of his teeth, or by carving short, brutal commands into his own forearm with a needle if no other medium is available.”

Distinguishing Features
Silver wire throat scar
Elongated, multi-jointed fingers
A belt of dried tongues taken from fallen enemies
Completely silent footfalls even on gravel
Voice
“A dry, rhythmic rasping sound similar to two pieces of sandpaper being rubbed together, used only for urgent warnings.”
Clothing
He wears a custom suit of matte-black leather that has been boiled in beeswax to prevent creaking. His cloak is fashioned from the hide of a displacement beast, though the magic has faded into a dull, shifting blur. Over his chest, he wears a bandolier of silver-tipped needles and fine silk thread.
Body Language
He remains perfectly still for long periods, then moves with a burst of frantic, blurring speed. He often tilts his head 90 degrees when listening.
