Valdane is a narrow, long-limbed tiefling whose movements have the constant, subtle sway of someone standing on a deck even when the floor is perfectly still. His skin has the texture and muted sheen of old red-brown leather, marked by pale salt scars across his knuckles and throat. Two swept-back horns emerge from his brow like polished black ship timbers, each wrapped with tiny copper rings that chime when he turns his head. His tail is unusually thin and expressive, ending in a tuft of pale fur that he keeps meticulously brushed. One eye is amber and sharp as a gull's, while the other is clouded pearl from an old sea injury. He smells faintly of tar, orange peel, and rain-soaked rope. Despite his infernal appearance and intimidating horns, he has an unexpectedly delicate habit of handling every object as though it were a newborn bird.
