He also maintains a well trimmed and oiled beard. He has a gaunt face with intelligent brown eyes and maintains tanned olive coloured skin even in this colder eastern climate. He has two light duelling scars on his face and is a lean and tall. |
He normally wears a pair of silk wrapped curved blades on his back and has been quick to call men to duels for what he considers slights on his honour. He tends to favour silks like most Delzahn, including a large white silk cape but during the winters in Nexus is known to go about in more local (and warmer dress). That he goes without a veil a fact he contributes both to the climate and his status as an outcaste. | He normally wears a pair of silk wrapped curved blades on his back and has been quick to call men to duels for what he considers slights on his honour.
