Description
Neil Geller is a male adventurer, but the text does not specify his height, build, skin tone, hair, eyes, or facial structure. He wears a brooch with an amber gem that establishes a privacy field; another mention notes a rain-deflecting brooch, though no other details of its design are given. His demeanor is described as approachable and quietly capable, and his clothing is not consistently characterized.
