Elkhorn is not especially tall by Dwarven standards, but he is thick and powerfully built. His long beard is silvery-gray, his eyes are brown, and his voice is a powerful baritone.

The warrior wears a chain hauberk, conical horned helm, and a heater shield with his family's crest: a stein on argent with azure chief. [Silver with a blue bar at the top] At his belt is a well-crafted battle axe with a single head and a spike on the reverse. He slings a light crossbow over his shoulder.

When not engaged in battle, he can often be found brewing various alcoholic beverages, or mending household items for his neighbors.
