Lutran is a human male wearing a knee-length open coat over wide pants and a knee-length shirt featuring eye-catching colors and patterns. His clothes are spotlessly clean, appearing as if they have just come from a sterilization unit or recycler. The overall style is a common human clothing combination but distinguished by its bold patterns, allowing him to blend in as an ordinary legitimate visitor while moving along the station's walkways.

Frustration flickers across his features like a glitch before smoothing into calm authority. His posture in the interrogation chair radiates the quiet command of someone holding the station's order together. You sense the strain of unseen pressures behind his steady gaze.
