Kelsier
MajorA tall, hawk-faced man in his mid-thirties with light blond hair and a charismatic, often smiling face that conveys lively confidence. His light skin contrasts with the dense network of thin, overlapping white scars covering his hands, forearms, and arms past the elbows, marks from the Pits of Hathsin that he sometimes displays deliberately or hides beneath long sleeves. He moves with a springy stride, dressed in a relaxed nobleman's suit of colored vest, dark coat, trousers and thin cloak or in clean skaa coat and tan trousers, nearly always adding the distinctive mistcloak of hundreds of long ribbonlike dark strips that billow and curl around him like the mists themselves.

Physical Description
A tall, hawk-faced man in his mid-thirties with light blond hair and a charismatic, often smiling face that conveys lively confidence. His light skin contrasts with the dense network of thin, overlapping white scars covering his hands, forearms, and arms past the elbows, marks from the Pits of Hathsin that he sometimes displays deliberately or hides beneath long sleeves. He moves with a springy stride, dressed in a relaxed nobleman's suit of colored vest, dark coat, trousers and thin cloak or in clean skaa coat and tan trousers, nearly always adding the distinctive mistcloak of hundreds of long ribbonlike dark strips that billow and curl around him like the mists themselves. A tall and impressive man with a lean, athletic build that speaks of both noble refinement and the hardened resilience gained from surviving the harshest trials. He has fair skin, short light hair, and piercing eyes that sparkle with charisma and cunning, his face often lit by a confident smirk that rallies those around him. Dressed in tailored noble attire that flatters his frame, he carries himself as an unyielding symbol of rebellion with hidden scars of survival marking his arms beneath the finery. A tall, commanding man with a firm and chiseled face stands silhouetted against flames, his posture radiating authority and confidence. Scars trace his arms as visible badges of his ordeals, while he wears a deep black cloak with the hood drawn up, the fabric blending into shadows and mists. Fair-skinned with short sandy hair and piercing eyes, he projects the resilient, inspirational aura of a legendary leader who has returned from the harshest torments to guide his people.
