| Outward Appearance |
As he is of average height and build for a watcher, the first thing standing out about him would be his skin, which would either be unusually pale, even for local standards, or red from sunburn. This misery is likely owed to him being a redhead, another outstanding feature which would be clearly visible despite his shaved head, as he maintains a decently kempt beard around his jaw and sides.
Few signs of age mark his facial features, but he lacks the fresh faced look of a lad, placing him in his thirties in the eyes of most observers. When not in the uniform of the watch, he is most likely wearing a well fitted leather armour over a shirt. He wouldn't be visibly recognisable as watcher in this armour. His helmet, buckler and sword appear to be of better quality than the gear watchers get handed, suggesting he bought them with his own coin. The diligence with which they seem to be maintained are reflective of that.

Background
He commonly doesn't share much information about his background. Among those bits of information easy to find out or get told by him is the duration of his service to the watch, namely two decades, as he joined the watch earlier than usually permitted to get away from his (in his own words) "good for nothing family". Being a more introverted and work-focussed watcher than most, little else would be known. Older Breelanders might be able to recall one or more incidents where Penham had been subject of talk in town for being unusually ruthless when engaging armed criminals, usually leaving them heavily injured or dead from the injuries sustained.

|---|---|
| Relatives | Estranged. |
| Rivals/Enemies |
| Loves | Order, efficiency, a calm evening, his sword, cider, forests and climbing to success. |
|---|---|
| Hates | Failure, not being in control of himself or a situation, chaos and people who openly disrespect the laws of Bree Town. |
| Motivation | Hard to determine beyond the obvious goal of achieving and maintaining order in town. Longer conversations will, perhaps, reveal that ridding Bree of perceived "negative" influences gives him intrinsic motivation for his work. |
