Dr. Liago appears briefly as an old Yellow physician tending to critical needs with his magnifying tech and nimble hands, his wrinkly cragged face and white hair plumes marking him in a single pivotal moment. A minor figure in the vast tapestry of Iron Gold, he embodies the clinical detachment of the Society's medical elite. His presence underscores the fragility of life amid war's chaos, offering aid without fanfare.
Description
An old Yellow in his seventies with a wrinkly face etched by deep crags and fissures, crowned by plumes of white hair on a long-jawed head. Scaggleweed facial hair clings sparsely to his features, while a tech magnifying lens hovers over his right eye pupil. Nimble hands move with practiced grace, his frame lean and unassuming in physician's garb. Dr. Liago is a seventy-year-old Yellow man with a long jaw and a face deeply wrinkled into crags and fissures. Patches of coarse facial hair break up his weathered features, while great plumes of white hair crest his head. Technology fitted over his right eye magnifies his pupil, lending his gaze an unnervingly focused quality. His hands are nimble, and the text gives no details of his clothing.
