He accessorizes with a grey scarf around the waist and a strap diagonally across his shirt. His white hair is smooth and relatively long. His gold eyes peer out from beneath his feathered black hat.

Personality: He is enamored with his job. He loves it. He likes the challenge and he likes helping those less fortunate than him. He dislikes loud distracting noises, but is overall hospitable. His biggest love is that of knowledge and as such will purchase any books or pay to listen to tales that travelers might have.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Qemuel took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up lance and armor he uses now. He inherited the family business which he has now maintained for 7 years.
