Editing Cathak Basq (section)

=== Appearance ===
Medium-height, around five-foot nine, but as well built as most military men. Thick, wiry muscles as tough as car tires, built up from relentless and untiring hard labor. Dull, gray eyes, like burned paper, and smoky-black hair. Ruddy skin with a gray-ish tinge, mainly due to being covered with a fine layer of ash: washing removes this for about a quarter of an hour, before it naturally reforms. His clothing also often smells of smoke.

Greying teeth and thin lips under a fairly large, roman nose. One of his eyebrows is slightly higher than the other, and his forehead is more wrinkled than his age would suggest. He grows a beard, but can't seem to manage a mustache. His black hair is greased back, and lacks shine, hanging low and a little lifelessly. Facially, he's handsome, with high cheeks and a big grin; his features are expressive - sometimes a little cartoonish - and he generally looks benign.
