Appearance
Khartek is a broad-shouldered human man with the compact, weathered body of someone who has spent years hauling rope, climbing rigging, and fighting in cramped places. His skin is sun-browned except for a pale band around his left wrist where a manacle once rested. His black hair is clipped close on one side and allowed to fall in a stiff, uneven ridge on the other, as if cut with a sailor's knife. A narrow scar divides his lower lip, but his smile is unexpectedly gentle. He moves with economical precision, always placing his feet as though the floor might tilt beneath him. The contradictory impression he leaves is that of a dangerous dockside duelist who smells faintly of orange peel and keeps his hands folded like a patient schoolmaster.
“His voice is low, clipped, and dry, with a river-port accent that turns hard consonants into deliberate beats. He pauses before promises, as if weighing their physical mass.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale manacle scar encircles his left wrist.
His lower lip is split by a thin vertical scar.
He wears a single silk glove despite working with metal and oil.
The copper floodgate clasp at his throat is dented from the night of the tribunal.
He carries orange peel in a small paper twist and chews it when thinking.
Voice
“A low baritone with a dry rasp, controlled even under threat; when speaking to children, he softens it until it nearly becomes a murmur.”
Clothing
A faded indigo work coat over a quilted leather vest, reinforced river boots, gray trousers patched with sailcloth, and a copper clasp shaped like a closed floodgate. He wears one fine silk glove on his right hand and no glove on his scarred left hand.
Body Language
He keeps his shoulders relaxed and his chin slightly lowered, giving the impression of listening even when he is assessing threats. His left hand often touches the pale scar around his wrist. In combat, he becomes unnervingly still before moving all at once.
