The shadows shift and a humanoid shape appears. Aquiline nose, sharp chin, and hooded eyes form the shape of the creature before you, masculine despite the sleek elegance of his features. Thin magician's fingers wrap around his weapons and tools with inky gestures, every movement smooth enough to seem like liquid flowing through rivulets in a solid surface. Charcoal seems to cover his skin, but close inspection reveals it is small droplets of shadow, each no larger than the head of a pin, floating above his ebony skin. His eyes are lost in the deep umbra surrounding him.
