Appearance
Bran Underhill is a compact, quick-moving man who looks like he has spent his whole life between shelves and ledgers. His hands are broad and ink-stained, with knuckles thickened by lifting crates, yet his fingers are surprisingly delicate when he handles coins or measures cloth. He wears a contradiction of careful neatness and visible wear: a spotless linen collar beneath a patched wool vest, polished boots with a cracked heel, and sleeves rolled up to reveal forearms dusted with powdered chalk from weighing goods. His merchant's apron is embroidered with tiny golden scales, but one pocket is burned through from an old lantern accident. He moves with a birdlike stop-start rhythm, pausing to assess, then darting in with sudden precision. Even when he is angry, he looks as though he is trying not to disturb the shelves.
“Measured, courteous, and quietly incisive. He speaks as though every word has been weighed, but there is warmth under the caution.”

Voice
“Low, steady, and slightly dry, with the habit of pausing before prices and after warnings.”
Clothing
A patched merchant's apron over a moss-green shirt, a brown wool vest with brass buttons, dark trousers reinforced at the knees, and practical black boots. He wears a ring of tiny iron keys at his belt, and a folded measuring ribbon is tucked into his sleeve.
Body Language
He stands with one shoulder slightly forward as if shielding the counter, and he gestures with two fingers instead of a whole hand. When listening, he tilts his head like a magistrate weighing testimony. If startled, he flinches once and immediately composes himself, smoothing his apron as though tidiness could erase fear.
