A tall figure who moves with the measured gait of someone used to being observed. His skin is a deep, warm garnet that seems to catch light like burnished copper. Horns sweep back from his temples in glossy black arcs etched with faint silver filigree in the pattern of the city crest. He keeps his left hand gloved in soft black leather while his right hand is bare, revealing a pale, crescent-shaped scar across the palm. When he laughs it is small and controlled; when he is angry his pupils narrow to thin, polished ovals. An unexpected detail: he wears a child's braided ribbon tied to the cuff of his coat, frayed but clean, and he smooths it absentmindedly whenever thinking.
