Ephraim ti Horn
MajorA 46-year-old man standing 1.75 meters tall possesses a slight, narrow-shouldered build that decades of training never managed to broaden, his posture bent by years of hard living and hidden pain. His face is distinctly swollen and puffy from heavy drinking with bloodshot weary eyes, sallow skin stretched over sharp cheekbones, and a cynical expression that speaks of constant calculation. Short unkempt dark hair threaded with gray frames his features while old scars from a Gold attack mar his chest beneath his clothing and an old right knee injury causes him to favor one leg. He wears rumpled suits layered with wool overcoats or sleek black neoPlast bodysuits with facial hoods, a pistol holstered at his leg or under his armpit, and carries the overall aura of a battle-scarred veteran turned opportunistic criminal.
