Runs-the-Sand is a massive creature who dwarfs his fellow man. Absolutely hairless, his dark eyes and dusky skin reveal his Middle Eastern heritage. He is a muscular creature who rarely smiles and even more rarely opens his mouth. When he does so, however, it reveals a mouth without a tongue. When he "speaks," it is inevitably a wordless roar.

In his lupine form he remains hairless. It is his Crinos war-form that is truly disturbing, however: the massive hairless form of a giant, muscles rippling as he stands more than a head taller than even other war-form Garou. Unlike many Garou however, and perhaps all the more terrifying for it, Runs fights in silence, not even so much as opening his maw.
