Thoren Blackfin is tall, lean, and in good physical condition. He wears his hair and his beard short, black in the main but salt and pepper gives way more to gray year by year. Piercing blue eyes are the most remarkable thing about his appearance, which could be a thing of beauty if not for the unsettling way in which his gaze usually employs them.

To family and others to whom friendship and love is extended, he can be kindly, genuine, and is known to be devoted. But his trust is small, and those who have yet to win it or have already lost it experience none of the warmth of which he is capable, only receiving the ice latent within his gaze.
