Kriv possesses the heavy, imposing frame of a gold dragonborn, but his scales lack the typical metallic luster, appearing instead like tarnished, matte brass. His hands and forearms are permanently stained with soot and charcoal. Most striking is his left eye, which is a milky, sightless white from a magical backfire, while his right eye burns with a piercing amber intensity. He moves with a slow, rhythmic deliberation, like a pendulum, yet his fingers are surprisingly nimble and twitchy when near heat.
