Physical Description
A stern figure with the disciplined posture of long military service, his face is etched with the hard lines of command. Short-cropped hair frames a strong jaw and piercing eyes that miss nothing. He favors the crisp lines of a gentleman's tweed suit or faded uniform jacket, adorned with subtle regimental insignia. His presence commands respect, broad-shouldered and unyielding.
