Oris is a spindly avian with the plumage of a snowy owl, though his feathers are perpetually stained with charcoal and ink. His large, amber eyes seem to vibrate when he focuses on a map, and he moves with a series of jerky, bird-like twitches. Paradoxically, despite his avian grace, he wears heavy, lead-lined boots that keep him firmly anchored to the ground, giving his gait a strange, clumping sound. He carries a massive quill made from a roc feather strapped to his back like a sword.
