Physical Description
A commanding nobleman with a massive bristling beard and prominent bushy eyebrows that give him a fierce expression. His legs have been crippled and useless since a childhood disease, forcing others to lift him from his saddle or seat him in a special high-legged chair so he can oversee maps and plans. Sloppily dressed in a worn black jacket, trousers, and shirt, he often looks tired but carries an air of stubborn determination and political cunning. A nobleman with fair skin and a sturdy upper body from years of leadership in the Final Empire, Ashweather Cett has a thick unfashionable beard surrounding an even more unattractive mouth. His legs are completely paralyzed from a disease contracted long ago, forcing him to sit in a chair with an arrogant expression or be tied into a specially made saddle when riding, one useless leg often swinging free. He projects power through bold posturing and sharp, calculating eyes rather than physical strength, scratching at his beard as he speaks with the confidence of a king who refuses to be diminished by his disability.
