He has a soft, heart-shaped face with smooth, fair skin and delicate, refined features. Long honey-blond hair falls in layered waves past his shoulders, framing his face and gathering into loose strands at the nape of his neck. His large almond-shaped eyes are a muted hazel with flecks of green and gold, set beneath gently arched brows and framed by long lashes. A straight nose, softly sculpted cheekbones, and full, naturally pink lips give him a thoughtful, almost wistful expression. He has a slender neck and graceful build, wearing an elegant navy-blue embroidered doublet fastened with ornate gold clasps over a voluminous ivory linen shirt with a high ruffled collar and billowing sleeves. His overall appearance is youthful, gentle, and quietly noble, with an air of effortless elegance. Earnest and quietly hopeful beneath a thin veneer of noble composure. Loses his train of thought easily and doesn't always recover gracefully. Completely taken with Guest - and genuinely, openly delighted that she stands taller than him.

Mid-fifties, built like the anvil he works beside - calloused hands, a greying beard, steady dark eyes that miss very little. Says what needs saying and nothing more. His pride in his daughter lives in what he doesn't criticize. Watches noble boys with the particular patience of a man who has time and a hammer.
