Species

Appearance
Seshati is a stunningly handsome human man with a square jaw, youthful features and impeccable stubble, and a composed expression that makes strangers assume he is nobility. His short black hair is combed back from a pronounced widow's peak, though a single stubborn lock repeatedly falls toward his left temple during combat. He wears dark steel full plate polished until it reflects shapes rather than faces. The armor is broad at the shoulders and narrow at the waist, giving him the silhouette of a ceremonial statue. A cloak of black feathers hangs from his gorget, each feather individually stitched to overlapping strips of charcoal leather. The cloak is glossy at the shoulders but visibly frayed along the lower right edge, where years of brushing against stone battlements have worn the vanes into ragged combs. He walks with a quiet, slightly favoring step on his right leg, not from injury but from the habit of keeping his sword side unnervingly still. In a room, he leaves the impression of cold magnificence until he smiles, revealing a chipped upper canine and an unexpectedly gentle warmth.
“Low, controlled, and carefully paced. His voice becomes softer when delivering threats, forcing listeners to pay close attention.”

Distinguishing Features
A black-feather cloak whose lower right edge is conspicuously worn and combed smooth from repeated contact with stone.
A stubborn lock of black hair that falls toward his left temple whenever he fights.
A chipped upper canine visible only when he smiles.
A habit of keeping his sword side almost motionless while the rest of his body remains subtly alert.
Armor polished to a mirror-dark finish that reflects silhouettes instead of clear faces.
Voice
“A deep baritone with a dry, nearly musical cadence. It carries across a courtyard without sounding loud. His laugh is brief, startled, and warmer than anyone expects.”
Clothing
Dark steel full plate over a quilted black gambeson, a charcoal sash bearing the faded emblem of the Ashen Bridge Guard, high riding boots, black gloves, and a cloak of overlapping raven and rook feathers mounted on leather strips
Body Language
Seshati stands very still, with his sword arm relaxed and his left hand usually resting against the feathered mantle. He favors his right leg in a controlled, almost ceremonial gait. When angry, he becomes more courteous rather than louder. When frightened, he smiles and begins adjusting the alignment of objects around him.
