Marr Hollowcrown
Royal Adviser and Legal Occultist
Marr Hollowcrown
Species
Grimling
Appearance
Marr is a narrow, long-limbed Grimling whose movements are quiet without being graceful, as if every step has been considered by a committee. His charcoal skin has a dry, velvety texture, broken by faint silver flecks around his knuckles that resemble ground bone. His jaw is broad and unusually powerful, and when he smiles, which is rare, his small square teeth show in two perfectly even rows. Before speaking, he takes a soft, deliberate breath through his nose and taps his lower teeth once with his tongue, creating a tiny click that people often remember more clearly than his words. He carries himself like a solemn court official, yet he has the unexpectedly gentle habit of crouching to speak with children and animals at eye level. His presence leaves the impression of a sealed tomb that has somehow learned patience.
“Measured, formal, and quietly resonant. Marr pronounces names with ceremonial care, pauses before difficult truths, and lowers his voice rather than raising it when angry.”

Distinguishing Features
A soft nasal inhale and single tongue-click precede nearly every statement.
His powerful square jaw makes even quiet words sound carefully stamped into place.
Silver flecks around his knuckles shimmer when he touches a corpse or enchanted object.
He keeps his head perfectly still while his eyes track movement across a room.
His formal court dress is always accompanied by a small pouch of ordinary sweets for grieving children.
Voice
“A low, dry baritone with a faint rasp, like paper dragged across stone. His voice becomes warmer around grieving families and nearly toneless when addressing corrupt nobles.”
Clothing
A high-collared black adviser’s coat lined with faded royal violet, fastened by bone toggles engraved with legal clauses. He wears layered gray sashes containing writing tools, seal wax, and folded warrants, along with soft-soled boots designed for silent movement through mausoleums and court corridors.
Body Language
Marr stands with his hands folded over the head of his cane and tilts his head slightly when listening. He rarely blinks during negotiations. When angry, he smooths invisible dust from his sleeves. When genuinely moved, he lowers himself into a crouch and touches two fingers to the floor as if acknowledging the dead beneath it.
