| Caldwell cuts an otherwise unimposing figure until you catch hold of his cold, sullen eyes. Tinted a unique golden-brown, they are accentuated by the dark clothes the bookhound prefers and are framed strikingly by his unkempt black hair and pale, almost luminous skin. He is more graceful than muscular, and strays toward the gaunt side of lean. | | Caldwell cuts an otherwise unimposing figure until you catch hold of his cold, sullen eyes.

− | *[https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/the-nightmares-underneath-byzantium-nightmares-undreamed-of.833297/post-22559139 Drummond Clive], a self-styled... exorcist. His door is midnight black, and called the Starless Door. At first glance it bears the appearance of wrought iron. Closer scrutiny reveals it is made of something...other, some sort of obsidian metal not known to this civilization. If Drummond spent any time maintaining it, it would gleam like ebon glass, but he does not feel compelled to do so, as besmirched with grime and soot it blends more easily with its environment. Associated with the hidden mysteries of the City of Ancient Knowings.
