There is a quiet gravity to this aged scholar, whose presence commands respect without demanding it. His eyes hold the weight of years spent in service to wisdom, and his measured speech carries the authority of one who has chosen virtue over ambition.

Buzurg Mihir served as the royal tutor to Prince Hormouz, shaping the young heir's education with an unwavering commitment to moral instruction over political expediency. Like the Roman Seneca, he stood as a philosopher-guide to power, maintaining his principles even when they conflicted with court interests. In his final years, when age began to cloud his faculties, he chose dignified retirement over diminished service.
Description
An elderly man of scholarly bearing with olive-toned skin marked by age, deep-set dark eyes that reflect decades of contemplation, and a flowing white beard. His balding head shows only sparse silver hair at the temples. He wears simple, flowing robes in earth tones and carries himself with quiet dignity despite his advanced years.
