- First seen · Book 1
A broad-shouldered, lean man with hair glinting silver-gold in the light, its color suggesting age or long wear. His stance is deceptively slouchy, and his face bears the tired, weathered look of someone accustomed to long marches. He wears practical, nondescript street clothing with a cloak, a baldric, and a sword slanted across his back; a serpent amulet is a notable personal accessory.
