Description

An elderly man of Middle Eastern descent who has reached the extraordinary age of 110. His olive skin is deeply lined with age, his beard long and white, yet his dark eyes remain bright with wisdom. Despite his years, he maintains a dignified posture and wears the fine robes appropriate to his wealth and status as a patriarch of many children.
