Manet
SupportingA fair-skinned elderly man over fifty years old with a wild shock of white hair that sticks out in every direction, making him look like a great white wolf. His face is dominated by a thick grizzled grey beard and wild grizzled eyebrows that arch seriously over his nose, paired with a slightly disheveled overall look as though he just rolled out of bed. He has the casual, rumpled bearing of a lifelong University student who spends his days amid the heat waves of brick kilns and the tools of the Fishery workshop.

Physical Description
A fair-skinned elderly man over fifty years old with a wild shock of white hair that sticks out in every direction, making him look like a great white wolf. His face is dominated by a thick grizzled grey beard and wild grizzled eyebrows that arch seriously over his nose, paired with a slightly disheveled overall look as though he just rolled out of bed. He has the casual, rumpled bearing of a lifelong University student who spends his days amid the heat waves of brick kilns and the tools of the Fishery workshop. Wild grey hair springs untamed around a grizzled, bearded face, perpetually disheveled with bushy eyebrows arching over half-lidded eyes. His frail, elderly frame slouches low, frail shoulders draped in habitually rumpled clothes that hang loosely on his thin build. A mug often rests on the gentle swell of his belly, his flushed cheeks and breathing hint at recent exertion or drink. He moves with a mix of smoothness and bewilderment, chuckling into his beard.
