Tentative:
He only stands around 5'5" tall weighing only, perhaps, 6 score pounds.  Though small and slender, he none the less exhibits a relatively athletic build.  Though his hair may be naturally a lighter brown, the time he spends out in the sun lightens portions down to a light blonde at its ends.  Superficially, when in his elements he seems generally friendly  enough. However, in many cases, on more serious issues, he may seem somewhat more reserved.  Yet those who have earned his friendship, find him to be a loyal companion.

It isn't hard to tell that he spent much of his youth aboard ships.  He is quite comfortable, maybe even comforted by the rocking sensations that seem to give a ship a life of of its own as it rolls from one side to another the wooden decking of being aboard a ship.  In fact, even the jarring movements of a ship within a strong storm mostly seem to draw him into a determined excitement.  He is known for loving to be in the rigging or crows nest, and jumping and swinging across them, feeling the damp wind flying by his face, through his hair and fingers.  Anywhere above deck, allowing the ocean's spray to wet his face.

Many would suspect that he has worked as a Marine before due to his frequently being dressed in leather and typically carrying an array of weapons strapped to him.  A slim rapier across his back, an old looking Kukri at his side next to a dagger.  Both of those opposite a small hammer.  A throwing axe strapped to each of his leggings.
