Berrute appears briefly as an old, short, bandy-legged man whose complaints about sore feet and having to stand still make him memorable. He offers no grand deeds or transformations; his small moment is rendered vivid by his weary grumbling and gap-toothed grin.
Description
Berrute is an elderly, short man with bandy legs and a compact, weathered frame. His face is marked by a broad grin that exposes gaps between his teeth. His clothing is not specified, so a visual rendering should keep it plain and unobtrusive rather than assign him a distinctive uniform or finery. He carries himself with the stiff, foot-sore impatience of someone made to stand longer than he likes.
