Appearance
Jonas Ward is a broad-shouldered human with the compact, weathered strength of someone who has hauled sacks through bad weather for two decades. He moves with a careful rolling gait, as though every floor might conceal spilled grain. His hands are scarred, flour-dusted, and permanently scented with smoke, vinegar, and iron. His face is square and ruddy, with a flattened nose, deep laugh lines, and a pale crescent scar beneath his left eye. He wears a brass monocle over his right eye despite having perfectly ordinary vision, claiming it helps him judge the quality of beans. The contradictory impression is striking: he looks like a man built to break down doors, yet he handles every onion, moth, and frightened child with extraordinary gentleness.
“Warm, gravelly, and measured, with the clipped rhythm of a man used to calling instructions over wagon wheels. His voice softens around children and rises into a surprisingly sharp bark when anyone wastes food.”

Voice
“A low baritone with a dry rasp, like gravel stirred in a wooden bowl. When Jonas is frightened, he speaks in a near whisper and becomes extremely precise.”
Clothing
A faded green wool vest over a cream linen shirt, a leather apron darkened by years of grease and smoke, patched brown trousers, thick wool socks, and cracked boots. His belt carries measuring spoons, chalk, twine, a folding knife, and three keys. A red scarf, once worn by his missing daughter, is tied around his left wrist.
Body Language
Jonas leans toward people when they speak, but keeps one hand resting on the nearest crate or shelf. He rubs his thumb over the edge of his brass monocle when lying, plants his feet wide when frightened, and automatically turns his body between danger and anyone carrying food.
