Level 8·Male·Medium
Neutral Good (pragmatic, occasionally morally compromised)

Species

Tiefling

Appearance

Ash-gray skin like old parchment, etched with faint ink-lines that run in the angles of latitude and longitude. Horns curve back in a graceful crescent; the left horn is fractured and bound with thin copper wire threaded with tiny compass shards. His right eye is a clear, stormy slate; the left is milky from a ritual scar and looks at maps rather than people. He wears a patchwork cloak sewn from map fragments and weather-beaten sailcloth; the inside is lined with pockets filled with needles, tacks and powdered charcoal. His fingers are broad and calloused but bear the soft stains of an artisan—inks that never seem to wash out. Unexpectedly, he smells faintly of citrus and sea salt, as if he has just stepped off a dawn harbor despite the infernal marks on his skin.

Copper-wrapped broken left horn threaded with compass shards

Ink-mapped scars that form cartographic lines across forearms

Milky left eye from a binding ritual

Tail braided and tied with a brass sextant charm

Callused yet gentle hands, often stained with ink

Voice

Low and gravelly with a coastal lilt, a slow cadence that speeds when excited or angry.

Clothing

Patchwork cartographer's cloak (map-fragments), studded leather jerkin, oil-stained trousers, knee-high travel boots wrapped in rope, fingerless gloves removed when drawing

Body Language

Small, deliberate gestures—traces invisible lines in the air, tilts his head towards landmarks, often fingers the copper wire on his horn when anxious.
