Josn starts as Kvothe's rival at the Eolian, a fellow musician with an easy charm and honest smile, competing fiercely in a musical challenge that leaves him stricken and bloodless-faced. Carrying his large black lute case, he fades into the background, scuttling to protect his luggage amid the rivalry's fallout. Once a promising trouper, he becomes a footnote in Kvothe's rising legend, defined by that single, humiliating defeat.
Description
Of average build, he carries himself with an easy, unpretentious manner that puts others at ease. His face holds an earnest quality, lit by an honest, warm smile that crinkles the corners of his eyes. Later scenes reveal a stricken, bloodless pallor draining his features. He often shoulders a large black lute case fastened with gleaming brass buckles, dressed in the practical attire of a traveling trouper. His presence shifts from confident performer to protective skulker guarding his belongings.
