Avyn is about average height, with a hard, weathered face and stormy blue eyes. He is constantly hunched as if fearing a beating, and walks with a slightly stiff, uncomfortable looking gait. His face is constantly smudged with soot, which he doesn't care enough to wipe away, especially since his hands are even more covered in soot. Avyn has no friends, not even acquaintances, not since his family was wiped out by inquisitors two years earlier. He rarely speaks, and when he does it is in a slightly hesitant tone, his voice not particularly high or low pitched. He has just recently met the skaa girl Nell, and seeks to impart whatever wisdom and help he can to make up for the death of his granddaughter.
