Appearance
A narrow, quick-moving human boy with ink-stained fingers and the alert posture of someone forever counting exits, coins, and faces. His clothes are patched with mismatched cloth in deep plum, faded saffron, and soot gray, but they are kept strangely neat, as if he irons them with care. He wears a too-large merchant's sash that drags at his hip like a borrowed badge of office, and a small brass ledger hangs from it on a cord. The most unexpected thing about him is the way he smells faintly of rain, pepper, and lavender soap, like a market stall caught in a spring storm. When he is excited, he talks with his hands so quickly that his sleeves flutter like startled birds.
“Polite, quick, and precise, with a habit of quoting prices, deadlines, or distances before names. He speaks in little bursts when excited and drops his voice to a near whisper when discussing anything dangerous.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent-shaped burn scar hidden under his left cuff.
One milk-white front tooth that catches lantern light.
A brass ledger hanging from a blue cord, worn smooth by constant handling.
Ink smudges on the side of his nose from tallying by candlelight.
A faint tremor in his left hand whenever fire is mentioned.
Voice
“A soft, fast, careful voice that sharpens into crisp businesslike tones whenever he feels respected or threatened.”
Clothing
A patched merchant's tunic with reinforced cuffs, a faded sash of office, worn trousers rolled twice at the ankle, soft leather slippers, and a raincloak lined with salvaged blue thread. Hidden inner pockets are sewn into every layer.
Body Language
Keeps one shoulder slightly forward as if shielding an invisible tray, and he rarely stands still for long, shifting weight between the balls of his feet like a runner waiting for a signal. When uneasy, he rubs his thumb across the brass ring of his ledger cord. When pleased, he leans in too close, eyes bright, as if he is about to share a secret or a bargain.
