Hemme
SupportingAlso known as: Master Hemme
Master Hemme is an imposing university instructor with fair skin and a solid, commanding build who looks impressive in his dark master's robes as he strides onto the stage behind a large stone worktable. His sharp features and authoritative posture command instant silence from assembled students, though his face can flush to a fearsome red with a visibly pulsing vein at his temple when angry or drain to ashen white when struck by sudden pain. He moves with the dignity of his station but may occasionally favor his left leg slightly after suffering a sympathetic injury.

Physical Description
Master Hemme is an imposing university instructor with fair skin and a solid, commanding build who looks impressive in his dark master's robes as he strides onto the stage behind a large stone worktable. His sharp features and authoritative posture command instant silence from assembled students, though his face can flush to a fearsome red with a visibly pulsing vein at his temple when angry or drain to ashen white when struck by sudden pain. He moves with the dignity of his station but may occasionally favor his left leg slightly after suffering a sympathetic injury. His broad, middle-aged frame carries a round face perpetually scowling like an angry moon, with gleaming eyes and lips curved in an unpleasant smile. Dressed in University master's or chancellor's robes, he glowers with stormy intensity, broad back turned in muttering rage.
