Description
An elderly Arab warrior with weathered bronze skin and silver-streaked dark hair and beard. His deep-set dark eyes reflect years of military service. Tall and lean from a lifetime of campaigning, he carries himself with the quiet dignity of a veteran. He wears traditional Arab battle attire with a flowing cloak suited to his role as standard-bearer.
