Origin: Trestlebridge.

Appearance:

The man, reserved and somewhat aloof, stands at what appears to be an average height, perhaps five and eight inches at most; and, while he is not of imposing stature, his shoulders are broad and clearly suggest that he has some natural strength to him. Thick, evocative, and oft-furrowed brows frame dark and solemn brown eyes ringed by dark circles. These, coupled with the mess of wavy, dark hair that crowns his head and the thick, heavy beard and mustache that adorn his face contrast sharply with skin most fair. Features which, together with his temperament, suggest a man born of Northern stock.

A satchel hangs loosely over his shoulder - a cloth bag with a small iron buckle on it. He wears two rings on his right hand - one on the fourth digit and the other on the fifth. They are simple in ornamentation, with both of them having soft engravings in a knotted Elvish pattern and both appearing to be made from the same dark iron material.

It is now clear, upon a more thorough search, that there is more to this man than meets the eye. One needs only to look into his dark eyes to become aware of a depth and presence that extends far beyond whatever air of reticence pervades his person, one that belies a great power of Will lying hidden just below the surface.

Languages: Westron (Both written and spoken), Sindarin (Spoken.), Tengwar (Written.). Quenya (Written).

Voice: He has a deep, solemn voice. It makes him seem older and wiser than he actually is.

Accessories: He carries a sword strapped to his belt, sheathed in a simple scabbard made of tanned elk hide and iron. Two rings rest upon the fourth and fifth digit of his right hand. Draped over his shoulder is a satchel filled with various odds and ends, including but not limited to:

• A compartment for various herbs gathered on his adventures.
• A set of vials filled with medicinal salves.
• A musty tome in which letters are scrawled in some ancient text, likely Tengwar.
• A small knife made of bone, this seems largely ceremonial. Ask about it.
• A second tome filled with strange symbols and drawings of herbs and other things.
• A coinpurse.
• Matches.
• Small bits of a silver powder.*
