A young man under eighteen with a hardened, muscular frame earned through grueling training. He wears tattered and singed sacred artist robes, a jade badge hanging from a silk ribbon at his chest, and often carries a heavy pack. His eyes are ordinary and human when not channeling power, and his appearance conveys the grit of a dedicated sacred artist.

When cycling Blackflame madra his eyes ignite with black-and-red fire, and his face contorts into a fierce snarl as he wields an axe with dark green gauntlets or his bare prosthetic hand.
