Current Description:

(written by Cordir)
The bulk of a tall, muscular figure blocks the light, casting a shadow over those in his way. As he removes the iron helm that protects his skull, two braids slither out which bind the majority of his dark blond, rough, unkempt hair back from his face. His eyes glare down at you, black and cold, shadowed, haunted eyes which have seen far too much over the many centuries. The gaze is almost painful to bear, causing a violent shudder to crawl up your spine and a sense of unease to sweep over you. A large man of towering height and build, he wears the heavy mail with the indifference of one ever ready, even eager for combat.
He shifts his weight, heavy-set shoulders squaring slightly, and the leather grip of his mace groans in protest at the strength of that grasp. The weapon is of dark metal, and like his armor and body, bears the countless scars of eternities of combat, grimy with sweat and blood and dried flesh torn from his foes. This is not one who is overly concerned with pretty appearances; only the sacred truth conveyed through pain and combat, where holy purpose and grim unwavering determination merge.
His voice is deep, gravelly, harsh. "Embrace Lord Nash and submit to me, or be Destroyed."
