Mantikka is a huge, black-furred Gorilla. Standing just short of six feet, he has a powerful build fit for crushing boulders. His physique is daunting, and his eyes show a hint a distrust under his jutting brow. Still, he moves with a delicacy that indicates concern for those around him.

His dress is standard for a Korvosan Guard of low rank, yet his red-black-yellow uniform stands out for its lack of any armor. His only visible weapon is an immense wooden quarterstaff.
