Description
A middle-aged man of scholarly bearing with a slender build and parchment-colored skin. His short dark hair shows gray at the temples, and his clean-shaven face bears the thoughtful expression of one accustomed to careful observation. He wears simple dark robes with subtle embroidery, suggesting learned status without ostentation.
