A formidable warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of battle. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His dark brown hair is tied back in a warrior's knot, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with calculated intensity. A thick beard, braided with small iron rings, frames his jaw.
