Appearance
A SMALL adult MAN, pale and DWARFISH, who gives a strong impression of DEFORMITY without any nameable malformation. Young-looking but grown, with hairy knuckled hands, a husky whispering manner and a displeasing, murderous smile. He wears good clothes far too large for him. Never a child.
