MajorA tall, lanky man with blond hair and a hard, square face that remains impassive with a stern, neutral expression.

Physical Description
A tall, lanky man with blond hair and a hard, square face that remains impassive with a stern, neutral expression. His cold eyes like ice convey constant disapproval beneath a statuesque, broad-shouldered frame that makes him seem to loom over others. He wears modest clothing consisting of a simple shirt, trousers, and a loose skaa jacket often stained with dark ash while his face stays relatively clean. A tall bald man with fair skin and a sturdy frame stands in a black robe accented by metal bracers on his forearms. His eye sockets are entirely filled with thick iron spikes driven point-first through them, the flat heads gleaming like round steel disks on his face while the pointed ends protrude from the rear of his skull with no blood seeping from the wounds. This creates an unnatural, unnerving, and dangerous profile that is hard to read yet often seems sorrowful or intimidating as he moves with deliberate purpose. An unnaturally tall bald man with a head wrinkled by intricate tattoos mostly black with one stark red stands with a lean muscular build showing a stark rib cage and taut muscles. Large steel spikes pierce his eyes with one pounded deeper to crush the socket and protrude from the back of his skull while over twenty spikes total bristle from his chest and between his ribs. His face often twists into an inhuman sneer as he wears dark gray robes or stands bare-chested with rain or ash upon his fair skin, the complete monstrous form of a hemalurgic Inquisitor evoking both power and horror.
