Description
A distinguished French scholar in his middle years, with a scholarly build slightly stooped from decades of study. His graying hair is neatly tied back in the fashion of his time, and he wears a formal dark coat with silver buttons over a crisp white cravat. Spectacles rest upon his nose as he examines manuscripts with the careful attention of one who has spent his life tracing the contours of historical truth.
