Physical Description
A young adult man of lean, wiry build moves with tense, predatory grace honed by street life. His short messy dark hair frames a sharp face with wary eyes that dart suspiciously, marked by a perpetual scowl. Dressed in tattered dark leathers and a hooded cloak, he bears scarred knuckles and carries a small obsidian good luck charm on a cord around his neck. His presence is coiled, ready for flight or fight. Reen has the lean, wiry build of a street thief honed by endless survival. His clothes are ragged and patched, suited to vanishing into Luthadel's slums. Unkempt dark hair falls over a sharp, angular face marked by wary, predatory eyes. Scars crisscross his hands, and his posture slouches with habitual sneakiness, always ready to bolt. A lean, tough adult man with a taller, broader build and brutal hard face lacking any humor. His features are sharp and unrelenting, often set in disapproval with arms folded. Backlit by lantern light, shadows accentuate his menacing outline. He wears simple, dark thief's garb suited to shadows. His presence radiates cold, unyielding intensity.
