His face seems perpetually pinched with offense, the wrinkled leather of his skin suggesting a life of comfort now stripped away. There is something pitiable and repellent in equal measure about his wounded dignity.

Nethpara first appears in Deadhouse Gates as a pampered noble whose privileged existence is shattered by the Whirlwind rebellion. Three months of flight across the Seven Cities strip away his illusions and physical comfort, transforming the once-indignant aristocrat into a gaunt, trembling refugee who still clings to the trappings of authority even as the world he knew collapses around him.
Description
A man whose face resembles wrinkled leather, marked by a coddled air tinged with indignant hurt. He wears a spotless light-blue brocaded coat and a silk scarf around his neck, his once-fat frame now lean from months of desperate flight. His flabby neck and blinking, sweat-stung eyes complete the portrait of diminished nobility.
