Shield of Sparrows · Character

Samuel Hay

• Minor
• First seen · Book 2 · Ch. 39

A young man with fair skin, a mop of blond hair, and brown eyes featuring vivid amber starbursts that catch the light. Thin wire-framed glasses rest on his nose above a face whose many fine lines reveal every shift of emotion from heartfelt smiles to deep heartbreak. Dressed in a simple tunic with a lean build suggesting an active but unassuming life, he projects the approachable air of a familiar hometown scholar who has endured recent trials but retains an underlying gentleness.
