Appearance
Kezka Targan is a dusky red tiefling with a narrow, weathered face and blunt black horns that angle backward like the handles of a broken plow. Her skin has a dry, claylike texture around the knuckles and cheeks, as though dust has settled permanently beneath it. A pale scar cuts across the bridge of her nose, while a constellation of tiny soot marks freckles her left temple. She moves with the careful economy of someone carrying a full bowl through a crowded room, never wasting a step or gesture. Her tail is long, muscular, and usually wrapped twice around her thigh when she is thinking. The unexpected softness of her appearance comes from her hands, which are broad, warm, and visibly gentle despite the ink stains, cracked nails, and old burn scars. People often remember the sound of her keys before they remember her face.
“Her voice is low, dry, and carefully paced, with clipped consonants and a faint caravan accent. She pronounces names exactly as given and pauses before saying anything she cannot defend with evidence.”

Distinguishing Features
Blunt backward-sweeping horns with brass caps stamped with inventory numbers.
A scar across the nose and soot freckles clustered on the left temple.
A ring of 23 iron keys, each tagged with a tiny bone or clay marker.
A tail that curls tightly around her leg whenever she is forced to lie.
Ink-black fingertips from constant work with charcoal tallies and sealing wax.
Voice
“A restrained contralto with a faint rasp, like paper dragged across stone. She can project across a courtyard without shouting and can make a single quiet word sound like an official decree.”
Clothing
A charcoal-gray work coat patched with red thread, a sleeveless wool vest, reinforced trousers, and mud-stiff boots. She wears a faded blue scarf from her mother's caravan beneath a leather harness holding keys, chalk, sealing wax, and a folding knife. Her coat is lined with scraps of old military maps.
Body Language
She keeps one hand near her ring of supply keys and rests the other flat on nearby surfaces as if measuring their stability. When angry, she becomes almost perfectly still. When frightened, she begins organizing objects into straight lines.
