He walks with a slouch but will stand straight to his full 5'9" when asserting himself. His wide-brimmed hat is riddled with cuts and holes. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

He began work as a mercenary for hire. He would embark on any mission as long as the price was right.
