Description Slender, yet hardened to a point this figure seems, clad in an array of grey and black colours. A sleeveless shirt, woolen and tattered, covers his toned upper body, falling loosely around his chest. Encircling his waist, is a crude belt of ragged leather, from which the unadorned scabbard of a shortsword hangs, the latter's gleaming hilt clearly visible. Plain, sturdy pants cover his muscled legs, and disappear near his feet into supple leather boots. A small pendant hangs from his neck, the silvery surface smooth save for the primitive engraving atop: a thin, squirming snake. Overall, his clothing and gear seems worn and well-used, though still of a satisfying quality.

Neither beard, nor wrinkles linger upon this youthful face, unmarred still by the passing of time. Smooth is his skin - of a warm, light brown hue - and sharp his features; nose straight and small, cheekbones protruding, jaw tight and confident. Long hair, black as the purest obsidian, rests in his tanned neck, bound in a tight ponytail with a leather thong - not a strand of hair is able to escape. Dark, apathetic eyes match all this perfectly: impenetrable pools of a deep brown, cold and deprived of emotion, it seems.

Background Little to nothing is known of this man's youth, all inquiries ending upon a cold glare that silences most. However, fact is that he has served upon a number of vessels, suspicious ones at that, and thus few doubt his true allegiance: Wuuzushi. For three years has he worked himself up amongst the ranks of the roughest of sailors, until at last, he ended upon a ship called the Zafirah. He has been First Mate there for nearly four years already, earning the esteem and respect of most, deemed a loyal and worthy member amongst the Pirates.
Rumors Though stalwarty and steadfast, not few doubt the true intentions of this sober pirate. Of his past he speaks not, replying with a cold glare when questioned mostly. Yet, he shows naught of what stirs in his mind, and but shrugs at the petty rumors that circle 'round his person like vultures.
