Appearance
Post Brindlewick is a weather-beaten gnome who seems stitched together from travel dust, velvet, and lightning scars. In his ordinary state he is a compact, wiry figure with ink-stained fingers and a back slightly bent from decades of ledgers and spellbooks. When he casts his growing magic, his bones answer like bellows, and he expands into a towering, broad-shouldered giant of a gnome, his wagon now appearing comically small behind him until it, too, unfolds with hidden axles and rune-lit braces. The contradiction that makes people stare longest is his face, which is sweet and grandmotherly even in battle, framed by a ridiculous merchant's smile and eyes that look like they have seen the end of every road and still expect better weather tomorrow.
“He speaks in measured, friendly phrases, often as though reciting trade terms that have somehow become philosophy. His tone is dry but not unkind, and when excited he talks faster, stacking clauses like crates.”

Distinguishing Features
A brass key embedded in the center of his palm that never rusts.
A long scar that crosses one eyebrow and continues into his beard as a silver streak.
A wagon door painted with a tiny sunset that seems to deepen whenever he is near it.
His boots leave faint chalk sigils on stone.
His shadow is slightly larger than his body, especially when he is lying.
Voice
“Warm, dry, and bookish, with the persuasive cadence of a veteran shopkeeper and the patient gravity of an old road-poet.”
Clothing
A patched sapphire coat lined with hidden pockets, a brass-buttoned waistcoat, travel trousers with reinforced knees, fingerless gloves marked by ink and soot, and a tall felt hat pinned with a silver gear and dried rosemary. In combat he often dons a fold-out mantle of chainmail stitched beneath velvet, which looks absurd until the spells start flying.
Body Language
He stands with merchant patience, hands folded behind his back, but in tense moments his shoulders rise like a caged ox and his fingers twitch as if counting invisible inventory. When casting, he leans into the motion as though hauling the world itself forward.
