Kobold
Appearance
Krrk is a sleek, long-limbed kobold with charcoal scales that catch bronze highlights whenever furnace-light passes over them. His wire goggles carry five swiveling lenses, each etched with tiny calculation marks, and they click softly as he adjusts focus from a face to a ledger line. His hands are narrow but heavily conditioned by years of clerical work: the claws are blunt, polished, and stained permanently with red ink, while the pads of his fingers are rough from filing metal seals. He smiles too often when nervous, exposing small square teeth and a lower jaw that juts forward like a locked drawer. Despite his soot-dark scales and anxious twitching, he moves with the quiet precision of a dancer, never bumping a table, spilling a drop, or stepping on a loose stone. The contradictory impression is immediate: he looks fragile and overburdened, yet carries himself like someone who has already measured every exit.
“His voice is a quick, breathy rasp threaded with careful sibilants. He speaks in clipped clauses, swallows the ends of words when anxious, and occasionally slips into a whisper when discussing numbers.”

Distinguishing Features
Five brass-rimmed goggle lenses pivot independently, producing a faint insect-like clicking sound.
His claws are blunt, red-ink stained, and polished from years of handling seals and ledgers.
He has a broad, drawer-like lower jaw and square teeth that show whenever he smiles.
A thin line of pale scales runs from his sternum to his navel, an uncommon birth pattern resembling a ruler's graduations.
His tail is wrapped near the tip with colored accounting threads, each representing a promise he has not yet broken.
Voice
“A quick, breathy rasp with soft sibilants, dry clicks, and sudden precise whispers. When frightened, his voice becomes unnervingly formal. When sincere, it drops into a small, warm murmur.”
Clothing
A layered clerk's coat of black treated canvas, fitted with brass clasps and dozens of hidden document pockets. He wears a soot-gray sash bearing the Turning Bench seal, soft split-toed work shoes, fingerless archival gloves, and a belt of sealing wax, chalk, wire, and tiny measuring tools.
Body Language
Krrk angles his body toward the nearest exit while keeping his face pointed toward whoever speaks. His goggles rotate in tiny increments, his claws tap ledger rhythms against his thigh, and his tail traces careful arcs around chair legs. When lying, he becomes unnaturally still except for the tip of his tongue touching one front tooth.
