[[File:IdrisOfori.jpg|240px|left]]
'''Appearance'''
Tall, lean, with black skin that almost has a blue tint, and still a bit soft-looking from a lifetime in academia, dressed in unassuming clothes where he is not armored. He wears well-kept but little-used armor with an even, blackish patina, along with similarly pristine mace, shield, and crossbow, with the bronze near-black against further corrosion. He has a kindly face with limpid brown eyes under a dense curl of oil-black hair, and a serene air about him.

'''Background'''
Born to academic researchers, Idris grew up in a modest, stable household with five siblings, two older sisters and three younger brothers. He went for long walks to get away from the din, seeking out parks and libraries and temples when he was old enough. He soon manifested his mother's talent for making large intuitive leaps, and the meticulous and painstaking process for proving them. When he reached majority, the senior academician his parents worked for recommended him to another senior academician, and he spent many happy days in the company of variously musty and fragile tomes, with only the sound of quill on paper to be heard. Then one day, he was reading a crucial early history of the founding of the Hand, and his pattern-matching brain noticed something missing, maybe broken, maybe omitted? He brought this to his advisor, who poked and pulled at his logic until she realized that his hunch was sound, but it would need sound primary evidence to support it, foundational as the history was to so much scholarly work. Idris agreed, and soon found himself setting foot outside the city for the very first time, with only a few leads to work from.
