Halfling
Appearance
Balen Crow is a broad, soot-blackened halfling with forearms like braided ropes and a face permanently dusted gray around the nose and cheekbones. One eyebrow has been shaved clean in a stubborn crescent, giving him a permanently lopsided, knowing expression. His hands are scarred but careful, and he moves with a compact, rolling stride that suggests he is always circling an invisible anvil. He wears an unexpected strip of fine blue silk tied beneath his leather apron, a keepsake too elegant for a forge and too dear for him to leave hidden.
“Low and steady, with a rasp from forge smoke and a habit of ending sentences with tiny practical questions like 'worth the heat?' or 'want it true or pretty?'.”

Distinguishing Features
One eyebrow shaved into a clean crescent
A crescent burn scar along his left palm
A soot-stained laugh line that looks like a crack in old pottery
Blue silk strip tied secretly beneath his apron
Knuckles nicked and polished smooth from years of hammering
Voice
“A quiet baritone with a warm edge, as if every word has been tempered and then quenched in the same breath.”
Clothing
A soot-stiff leather apron over a patched linen shirt, iron-dark trousers, heavy work gloves tucked into his belt, and thick boots with one repaired sole that squeaks when wet. He keeps the blue silk strip beneath the apron, hidden unless he loosens his straps.
Body Language
Compact and restless, with quick hands, a forward lean, and a habit of squinting through smoke as if judging the shape of a problem before speaking.
