Sunken eyes brown, and a thin, bony nose were the features that stood out most on his, rather plain face. He always insisted on wearing golden gloves. No one knew the reason, some assumed he hid some horrid deformity underneath, others thought that he just couldn’t bear to touch anything lesser than him. One particularly gruesome rumour was that his hands were strained red from all the blood he spilt, but this was known to be a false hood.

A strong man, the only member of his house to be able to wield a sword, and with some grace and skill at that. Skills: a good fighter, a negotiator, and skilled seaman, who can steer a ship as well as he can captain one. A good nose for spotting a fake or a con, due to his father sending him out to sea as he wouldn’t take a wife nor bear any heirs.
