Rafe is a handsome, charming man with perpetually windblown brown hair falling about his shoulders and greyish-blue eyes that have been described at least once as being "like the stormy seas." Possibly by himself. He tends to dress in sturdy but fashionable clothing, actively pursuing a romantically rugged kind of look.

He carries a large fighting dagger with a long, slender blade and has a shield slung over his shoulder. His bear-hide armor might make him look like a fighter, but the grimoire at his belt suggests other talents.
