Athanaric is a man in his late-twenties. He is of average height, but his broad back and large shoulders make him look beefy. He has a massive beard and a long dark blonde hair, cut in the fashion of the men from the Riddermark.

He can be seen scratching his beard often. He has no grace in his movements, his steps are everything but stealthy but he walks around with determination.

Brawls and using the hammer and anvil while drunk provided him with a few visible scars, one horizontal above left eyebrow and another reddish scar on his neck.

When he's working the forge, Athanaric wears a pair of leggings and a shabby tunic. Both of them are in bad shape, burned here and there and full of dust.

Sometimes, very rarely and at important events, Athanaric wears an old, but well preserved, finely stitched violet robe.
 
Athanaric wears no jewels, except for an odd bracelet made of rope on his left hand wrist.
