Editing The Way Back Home J-A (section)

Jean-Allister is a tall, thin man with quick reflexes and sharp eyes. He cuts a foreboding rather than impressive figure as his eyes seem to stare past those he looks upon as if he sees something just behind them. When he’s in one of his moods many people swear they too can see the ghosts of his dynasty lurking there at the edge of seeing as well. He is richly but simply dressed in modified versions of the naval uniforms he became accustomed to before inheriting the Banain Warrant and its peculiar doom. 

At all times he carries the ancient sword and pistol carried by all the Banains before him ever since the Fall on Menkaure. Despite their fine craftsmanship and great antiquity they hold none of the grandeur one would expect from such relics. The spirits of the ancestral arms are as defeated as their master, capable of no more than common rage no matter the care of the tech-priests that attend them nor the prayers and sacred inscriptions embossed in their hilts along with a strange casting of a bird with enormous wings. On the sword the wings form the quillions, on the pistol they are swept forward to cradle the barrel. Around his neck a similar bird hangs from a pendant.  Jean-Allister frequently complains of its weight yet he never removes it.
