Supporting

Wilem is a young full-blooded Cealdish man with ruddy skin that can appear pale when recovering from a night of drinking. He has dark hair and dark eyes that go hard when angered or focused. His dark Cealdish face often settles into lines of definite reproach or quiet intensity. Though he has the frame of a man, he still carries the slightly awkward posture of a boy not yet fully accustomed to his adult size, giving him the look of a serious student who seems older than his lighter and more fiery companions. He moves with the quiet confidence of a University archivist who values precision and loyalty.

Physical Description

Wilem is a young full-blooded Cealdish man with ruddy skin that can appear pale when recovering from a night of drinking. He has dark hair and dark eyes that go hard when angered or focused. His dark Cealdish face often settles into lines of definite reproach or quiet intensity. Though he has the frame of a man, he still carries the slightly awkward posture of a boy not yet fully accustomed to his adult size, giving him the look of a serious student who seems older than his lighter and more fiery companions. He moves with the quiet confidence of a University archivist who values precision and loyalty. A Cealdish man of university age stands with quiet stoicism and reliable posture, his dark complexion showing only faint pallor after nights of little sleep. Dark unreadable eyes sit beneath mobile dark eyebrows, often narrowed in thought or glittering with subtle reaction, while a dark beard covers his jaw and is rubbed thoughtfully with one hand. His face shifts readily into a wide predatory or demonic grin when laughter overtakes him, his medium scholar's build allowing him to lean against birch trees, lie in tall grass during starlit talks, or examine bridges while slightly swaying from drink, all while projecting the intelligent and composed demeanor of a dedicated arcanist among friends.
