Steamknuckle is a weathered old rock gnome, standing a bit over three feet in height and slightly hunched with age, although still spry and lively on his feet. His skin is tanned and leathery from long years of travel on the open road. A pair of large ears protrude from beneath a dusty traveler's cap, covering his bald head and framing a friendly face with pale blue eyes and a braided white beard with long mustache.

Typically found perched on Steamknuckle's shoulder is Peas, his amiable little owl familiar. Standing barely six inches in height and weighing only a few ounces, her deep, sapphire blue eyes betray a startling intelligence as she peers out from under a coat of mottled black and gray feathers.
