He has short dark hair, sharp eyes that convey focus and occasional wonder, and a clean-shaven face with a firm jaw that hints at resolve. His typical attire includes a studded leather vest suited for combat, marked by an insignia on his shoulder, and he often carries a spear with a steady grip. A subtle blush sometimes colors his cheeks, adding to his earnest, youthful presence. Camouflaged elements in his clothing suggest readiness for stealthy maneuvers, his posture alert and quivering faintly with restrained energy. A fair-skinned young man in his twenties with short dark hair and a clean-shaven youthful face that appears earnest and often lights with excitement, Demoux looks younger than his actual age. He wears a meticulously neat and smart military uniform with obvious pride, his athletic build and disciplined stance reflecting his position as a dedicated captain of the palace guard. Standing alongside veteran soldiers, he projects sincerity and reliability through his animated expressions and upright bearing in the ash-covered capital of Luthadel.
