He continues to dress as a First Coil Immaculate Monk, in a worn but well-cared-for hemp robe minimally adorned with black trim and belted with a simple length of rope, along with a simple pair of sandals and a rice hat. He has gray eyes, is clean shaven and possesses the requisite shaved head of the Order. His claws he hides in the sleeves of his robe, wrapping them with cloth to help conceal their shape; his armor he rolls into a relatively inconspicuous bundle, which he carries with him wherever he goes. His only other possession is a simple wooden begging bowl.'' |
