Mobley stands about 4' tall, with a slightly pot belly.  He is bald, with grey slate colored eyes.  He is normally dressed in a shabby grey robe, that is typically ink stained about the cuffs, and his hands are similarly stained betraying a penchant for study and transcription.  He has a perpetual scowl on his face, and rarely speaks a kind a word, often mumbling curses under his breath.  The only tidy aspect of his appearance is his immaculately kept black beard.  It is trimmed and braided rather intricately, and clasped with a silver ring, at the bottom that matched the a'dalin hoop in his ear.

He will often have a parrot, that he refers to as Petey, sitting on his shoulder.  Petey will occasionally blurt out obscenities, untimely, or inapropriate remarks in dwarven.

He usually walks with a staff, carrying various books on assorted arcane and obscure subjects.  Unless traveling abroad, in which case he will have a crossbow and backpack as well.
