Human
Appearance
Brother Gideon is a broad-shouldered human man with weathered brown skin, a flattened nose, and hands roughened by years of lifting the wounded from battlefields. He walks with a measured heel-to-toe rhythm, each footfall placed as carefully as a prayer bead. His left sleeve is always rolled higher than the right, revealing old surgical scars and a faint golden birthmark shaped like an open palm. He looks like a weary laborer until he smiles, when the whole face becomes unexpectedly gentle. The contradiction unsettles people: his eyes are soft and patient, but he moves through danger with the sudden precision of a striking snake.
“His voice is low, warm, and deliberate, carrying the rasp of a man who has spent years speaking over wind, panic, and funeral fires. He rarely raises it.”

Distinguishing Features
A golden birthmark shaped like an open palm covers the center of his left hand.
His left little finger is missing, severed by a collapsing ward during his first mass healing.
He carries a strip of red cloth tied around his wrist, cut from his father's surgical apron.
His footsteps are nearly silent despite his size.
A thin line of white scar tissue crosses his throat, though he has never explained its origin.
Voice
“Low, warm, rasped, and deliberate, with the cadence of a campfire prayer spoken over wind.”
Clothing
A smoke-gray healer's robe beneath a quilted vest, layered with a battered chain shirt and a white half-cloak stitched with tiny gold handprints. His boots are wrapped in linen at the ankles, and every garment bears stains that no washing has fully removed, iron-red blood, bitter green poultice, lampblack, and desert dust.
Body Language
Gideon keeps his palms visible and his shoulders lowered, as though approaching a frightened animal. When calm, he leans toward people and listens with his whole body. When angry, he stops moving entirely, and the silence around him feels heavier than a shouted threat.
